Amtrak offers train service daily from Baltimore to D.C. and back.  According
to the current time-table, on Sundays there are trains leaving Baltimore's 
Penn Station (a short cab ride from where Usenix is being held) at 7:00am, 
10:05am and 10:45am (there are more times than this, I just picked a few).  
Travel time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour.  There are trains leaving 
D.C. for Baltimore at 5:20pm, 6:30pm, 7:20pm and 8:05pm to name only a few.  
There are two Amtrak stations in D.C., Union Station and New Carrollton.  Both
stations are also on the D.C. Metro line, so you can get just about anywhere
you would like to go.  Depending on the time you travel, a round-trip ticket
costs between $19 and $25.  These times and prices may change between now and
Usenix, call Amtrak when you get to Baltimore (539-2112) for specifics.
