The Grey line in Baltimore is actually purple. It is a proposed line which runs at grade with Amtrak, but uses LRV and makes more stops. It is grade seperated. It is probally the most expensive of all the proposals in Baltimore.

Commuter rail to Frederick from Baltimore would be very difficult. It is single tracked all the way from Baltimore to Frederick and the grades are not the best. CSX also sends almost all of their slow moving coal trains over this route since they have an ore pier in Baltimore.

One thing that I feel is missing is rail transit north of DC.

Of course, none of this should be built until Metro is triple tracked.
