There is an Amtrak station nearby to Baltimore-Washington International Airport (both are code BWI in respective travel systems). There is a 2.1 mile, 41 minute estimated walk duration open-to-weather footpath between these transit nodes; they are not exactly co-located. The BWI webpage only states the periodicity of a shuttle (1 per 10 minutes in the midday) not the duration of the shuttle leg.

BWI Marshall Airport offers free, frequent, and convenient shuttle service between the MARC/Amtrak station and the BWI Marshall Airport terminal. Shuttle Service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Shuttles run approximately every 10 minutes, except between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. when service operates every 25 minutes.

If you use Google maps to mark the route from the airport to the Amtrak station, and then select the public transport option (similar to how you used the walking option to identify your 2.1 mile walk), Google will tell you that the shuttle takes 12 minutes and makes 5 stops.

Note that the 14 minutes mentioned on the map itself includes walking to/from the shuttle from where I identified the start/end points

Although the Google info provided in @PeterM's answer is mostly correct, I've ridden that shuttle multiple times in both directions, between BWI Airport and BWI train station, and the only "multiple" stops are the couple of stops it makes at the airport terminal itself. Once it leaves the terminal, it goes directly to the train station (or leaving the train station, it goes directly to the airport). Though be watchful of the stops at the airport side, as not all of them are open all of the time. Although the information says they run every 10 minutes, that can fluctuate due to road traffic, passenger loading, etc. They can sometimes bunch up, where a couple busses come in short order, then there's a 15+ minute wait for the next one.

Just make sure to look for the proper bus, as there are several independent bus routes at BWI airport, one for the train station, one for the car rental facility, one for long term parking, and there could be another as well that I'm not remembering.
