TL;DR Summary

Baltimore's light rail service remains suspended for the fourth day as inspections and repairs are being conducted on the entire fleet due to mechanical issues. The Maryland Transportation Authority has not provided specific updates on the situation, but maintenance and overhaul of aging transportation vehicles are being emphasized as a priority moving forward. Camden Station is currently serving as a midpoint for replacement shuttle services during the suspension, causing delays for commuters. The MTA has identified punctured conduits and cable issues as more systemic problems than initially thought, likely resulting from delayed maintenance efforts. It will require eight cars for limited service and 19 cars for full service to resume.
