I mean you obviously don't want to chance missing the train. As a backup, it's an almost seamless trip, via the in-terminal train, from PHL to the Philadelphia AMTRAK station (a 20 minute trip) and thence to less than hourly trains to Baltimore - a 1-1.5 hour trip.
Yes. I'm scheduled to arrive BWI at 12 PM then catch the Crescent to New Orleans at 5:30 PM. The purpose of the trip is to ride the train and Baltimore was the easiest place to catch it. Strange, I know, but this is fun for me.
