Halethorpe Farms Road under the bridge a make a left at the first traffic light, Washington Blvd again. Travel along Washington Blvd until you see the signs for the MARC station, Patapsco Valley State Park, Relay. This will be about a mile or so from Halethorpe Farms Road. Make a right after the signs onto Sutton Avenue. Follow the road around and you have several option here.
1) You can make a right at the MARC sign and it will take you to the east side of the tracks or 2) you can continue along and cross the bridge over the tracks, make a right at the stop sign and then a right on Arlington Avenue. This will take you to the west side of the tracks. It doesnt matter which side you are on, but I suggest the west side. You have a better view here.
3) As you cross over the bridge, make a left at the stop signs, go to the bottom of the hill and the tracks will be right there on your left. In the short distance, the 3 tracks split. The track on the right is the Old Main Line and heads west. The other 2 tracks continue south and are the Capitol Subdivision. You can park along the tracks. ADC Map Grid: 41J12
Where the tracks split is the Thomas Viaduct. You can walk down to there and there is a large grassy area with great views of the Viaduct and the tracks.
