      Baltimore's light rail consists of two major routes 
		and a shorter line that serves the central part of the city.  All 
		three travel through downtown along reserved lanes on Howard St. 
    
            Trains move slowly through this older and 
		somewhat shopworn territory.  
    		 
    
		 The longer lines run together much of the way, but have   
		separate terminals to the north, and split into two branches near their 
		southern endings. 
		The 
		Blue Line goes from Hunt Valley in the northern 
    suburbs to BWI Airport.  The Yellow Line starts closer in 
		to the north at Timonium.  Twenty-two stations later it splits off 
		from the other line to go two 
		further stops to Cromwell Station/Glen Burnie.  
     
		The short line links the city's two 
		passenger railroad stations.  From the north, it provides light 
		rail's only service at Penn Station.  By one stop inbound it has 
		joined the other two routes, and it travels six further stops to Camden 
		Yards, location of this photo.
