i could swear i've gotten from iad to l'enfant plaza on the 5a in considerably less time than 55 minutes (~30). if you hit your transfers right, you can get from l'enfant plaza to union station in 20 minutes. figure 30 minutes at union station then another 30 to bwi (assuming you get one of the faster trains; i usually splurge on amtrak personally). that's 110 minutes, but let's say 2 hours. 90 minutes seems theoretically possible, but i certainly wouldn't bet on it. aren't there flights from iad to your destination?
