Service began in 1973; it was merged into the MARC Brunswick Line commuter rail service in 1986. HistoryThe Blue Ridge was introduced on May 7, 1973, as a replacement for the Potomac Special. It was curtailed from the Potomac Special terminus of Parkersburg, West Virginia to Cumberland, and retimed to better serve commuters.[1] In December 1975, the Blue Ridge became the first train outside the Northeast Corridor to receive new Amfleet coaches.[1] The Blue Ridge was truncated to Martinsburg on October 31, 1976 upon the introduction of the Washington–Cincinnati, Ohio Shenandoah.[2][1] Weekend service was dropped on October 1, 1981 amid cuts to Amtrak services.[3] In 1986, Amtrak transferred the Blue Ridge to the Maryland Mass Transit Administration (now the Maryland Transit Administration), who incorporated it into the MARC Brunswick Line.[4] As part of the transfer, Amtrak agreed to subsidize the train for five years.[5] MARC continued to use the name during the late 1980s.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Notes1. ^1 2 {{cite web |title=West Virginia State Rail Plan: Intercity Service Review |author=West Virginia Department of Transportation, State Rail Authority |date=March 12, 2013 |url=http://www.westvirginiarailplan.com/Libraries/project_information/WV_SRP_-_Intercity_Service_Review.sflb.ashx |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006131524/http://www.westvirginiarailplan.com/Libraries/project_information/WV_SRP_-_Intercity_Service_Review.sflb.ashx |archivedate=October 6, 2014 |pages=4-6}} 2. ^{{Harvnb|Sanders|2006|p=68}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=New Amtrak Network Keeps Most of System Intact |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1346&dat=19810827&id=FmJNAAAAIBAJ&sjid=L_sDAAAAIBAJ&pg=7019,3970357 |work=Associated Press |date=August 26, 1981 |first=H.
