@Frank IBC, the Master Plan for the NEC is to add a 3rd track into Union Station from Landover interlocking in the medium term, then a 4th track in the long term. Along with four tracking the NEC from south of New Carrolton to Baltimore which will support 7 day MARC Penn Line service.

There are no single track segments through Baltimore. The B&P Tunnel in west Baltimore is 2 tracks, the Union Tunnels on the east side have 3 tracks total. The plan is to build a new 2 track higher speed tunnel on the western side of Baltimore, then shut down & refurbish the B&P tunnel so it can used for MARC and probably as a backup for Amtrak.
