I’m aware. It’s there for the Guinness factory and to spur any eTOD, although that would require re-zoning and political effort (although what part of the project wouldn’t). Ideally, the stop would become more useful even if nothing was there if more Camden line trains were run (or at least run at the frequency of Penn line trains) which is strangely the most do-able part of this whole map.

The issue there is the Camden line is a CSX freight line, the Metropolitan line, which introduces too many wrenches to wreck the works. St. Dennis is also near a junction where CSX's Old Main line connects up -- that line connects up to Monocacy and Fredricksburg, aka a branch of the MARC Brunswick line.

So "do-able"? Not really. But I'd support bus service from Halethorpe to the Guinness factory.

Ok, you aren’t telling me anything I’m not already intimately aware of lol. When I said do-able, I meant in the context of running more Camden line trains vs implementing this entire project, which is absolutely true. At the end of the day, none of this will be built, so you don’t have to worry
