All rail traffic is running again聽between Baltimore and Washington after a woman believed to be in her 20s was struck by a train Thursday morning.

It happened near the聽Odenton station.

The woman was struck by a train on the railroad tracks south of the Amtrak Maintenance Center聽 at 521 Old Waugh Chapel Road, according to the Anne Arundel County Fire Department.

The woman was transported to the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore with critical, possibly life-threatening injuries, the fire department said.
