West Baltimore residents raise concerns about impact of proposed rail tunnel

Amtrak and MARC officials told a community forum Wednesday that a proposed new tunnel planned to run under at least 10 majority-Black neighborhoods in West Baltimore will be deep enough to minimize harm to area homes. Sandtown-Winchester resident Gary English has his doubts. “They said because it’s going to be approximately 96 feet under my house … it will not disturb my house,” he said during the presentation.
