Amtrak trains to/from Washington, DC run more or less hourly from Baltimore's
Penn Station, which is located about 20 blocks from the Convention Center.
Once you get to DC, there's a Metro (subway) stop right in Union Station.
DC's Union Station is within walking distance of Capitol Hill, but you'll
want to use Metro to get elsewhere to the major monuments, etc.--unless
you really like walking.
