Plans to get another daily train run using tracks from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and New York City remain on track. Officials with the state Department of Transportation have identified 11 key infrastructure projects that they say are needed to support such service. PennDot says four of those can be finished in time for Amtrak’s plans to launch a second “Pennsylvanian” service within two years. Those include improvements in Johnstown, connector track upgrades in Camp Hill, a new main line and configurations in Enola and a connector track to the Enola Yard from Lemoyne. PennDOT said it could take up to eight years to finish all the projects, but officials are targeting 2030 for full completion.
