I'm about to buy a ticket to BWI, and I need to meet a friend who will be landing on DCA. Our flights get there around 11:45p on a thursday. Is there a way that I could get from BWI to DCA (train or bus) at that time? Thanks.

There is a NE regional train that is at BWI at 11:52PM. You probably won't catch that one. The next train is #177 at 12:52AM
which arrives at Washington Union station at 1:25AM. The fare is $11.00.
Have your friend ride on the Metro to Union station to meet you.
Where is your lodging?
The next Amtrak train after #177 is about 6:25 AM at BWI.
I'm not sure about the hours of the Washington Metro.
Why not just meet at your hotel rather than at DCA? On a weekday, the last Metro trains from DCA into D.C. leave around 11:45 pm and the last Metro train toward Alexandria leaves around 12:20 am. So, he'll probably need to take a cab to wherever he is headed. And once you get to Union Station from BWI, you'll have to catch a cab as well since Metro will have stopped running by the time you get there.
For more info on Metro, see www.wmata.com
It makes no sense to trek to another airport - esp if the planes are landing around the same time - you will have a long trek and your friend will have along wait at a part of the airport with few services. Agree meeting at your hotel makes much more sense.
