Harrisburg-area rail travelers will soon have more options to travel to western Pennsylvania. PennDOT and Norfolk Southern Corporation inked a deal Friday to expand passenger rail service on the Pennsylvanian Amtrak line between New York and Pittsburgh via Harrisburg. The agreement will increase from once to twice daily the number of trains operating on that line that also serves Lancaster, Lewistown, Huntingdon and Altoona in central Pennsylvania. 'This agreement lays the groundwork for expanded passenger rail service in Western Pennsylvania while simultaneously preserving a critical freight rail corridor,' said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll.
