Quite probably (and, in fact, I'd recommend that). A word of advice on this, though: while New Carrollton has a comfortable heated waiting room downstairs with staff that theoretically announce incoming and outbound trains, when I was riding MARC from that station regularly, about half of the time they failed to announce the train until after it had left. Wait on the platform, unless you don't mind spending an extra hour in scenic New Carrollton.
