The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is pleased to share a new MARC pilot that will provide a direct weekday round-trip connection between communities along the Brunswick Line in Montgomery County and the Camden Line corridor to Baltimore.

The new service, planned to begin on September 28, will allow riders to travel directly between Brunswick Line stations and Baltimore’s Camden Station without transferring at Washington Union Station. The service will connect Brunswick, Point of Rocks, Barnesville, Metropolitan Grove, Gaithersburg, Rockville, Kensington, Silver Spring, College Park, Laurel, and Baltimore, providing a new direct transit connection between Montgomery County and Baltimore and expanding regional travel opportunities for MARC riders.

This service is being implemented by adjusting a current Brunswick-Washington round trip, a one-way Washington-Camden Station trip, and converting an existing non-revenue Camden Line train movement into passenger service, allowing MTA to provide this new connection without additional annual operating costs.

It is with profound sadness that we share the unexpected passing of former City of Brunswick Mayor Jeffrey Snoots. A native of Brunswick, Mayor Snoots served from 2016-2020. Prior to that, he had been elected as a Council Member in 1987, and again from 2012-2016.

During Mayor Snoot’s time in office, he was a catalyst for large projects such as renovations to the Sports Complex on 13th Avenue, planning and beginning the new City operations building at 811 West Potomac Street, upgrading the Yourtee Springs facility in southern Washington County, and advocating for the replacement of Brunswick High School, among countless other acts.

Mayor Snoots was a friend to all and a well-liked leader among those of us who work for the City. He sought out other long-term elected officials and staff members for guidance. He wasn’t afraid to make a decision after considering all options, but he also knew when to step aside and let others work. Mayor Snoots lead the City through the COVID pandemic including an unprecedented operations shut-down and emergency preparations and response. He ran the City with common sense and approachability.

Current Mayor Nathan Brown says, “I considered Jeff a mentor and close friend, and he will be deeply missed.” That sentiment is shared by those of us who had the pleasure of serving under Mayor Snoots.

We offer up our deepest condolences to Jeff’s devoted mother, also known as the “First Mother of Brunswick,” and his other family members.

Black drapes have been placed on City Hall to pay reverence to Jeff’s passing.
