Try Logan Circle for action, but if you want to watch trains, this
website for the Maryland Transit Administration will have schedules.

MARC in particular:

The frequencies used by the trains depend on the line used. The trains
through Ft. Meade will be on the NEC and use ex-Pennsylvania Railroad and
Conrail frequencies, 160.800 MHz most notably. The lines through Laurel
to Camden Station will be on the old Baltimore & Ohio and use CSX
frequencies, 160.230 MHz most notably.
