The BWI Marshall Airport station is one of the two southern terminals of the Baltimore Light Rail. As the name implies, the station serves Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport; the station platforms are just outside an entrance to the International Concourse on the lower level. The station opened in 1997, with trains then serving the station every 34 minutes and operating to Penn Station. The system's routes and schedules have changed over the years; , trains depart for Hunt Valley every twenty minutes during peak commuter hours and every half hour at other times. The station and the airport are served by Maryland Transit Administration's bus routes 17, 99, and 201; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Other local transit agencies also have buses serving the airport, including Howard Transit's Silver Route. ==Accidents at this station== In 2000, two separate accidents occurred in which a Light Rail train ran into the end bumpers and up into the roof of the station. In one case, the operator was under the influence of cocaine and oxycodone. He tested positive for cocaine, was fired four days after the accident, and charged with reckless endangerment. The other case the operator was under the influence of prescription medication that made him drowsy. Since then, a trip-stop has been installed to the north-west of the station, requiring operators to stop before the station, reach out of the vehicle, and clear the trip-stop before moving at 10 mph into the station. A proper medical policy was instituted at FTA's insistence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BWI Marshall Airport (Baltimore Light Rail station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
