Pennsylvania HSR

Pennsylvania HSR is a blog that addresses restoring rail passenger service and creation of high speed rail passenger service for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and other states. Of great interest is the Keystone Corridor West (Pittsburgh to Harrisburg) and the Keystone Corridor East (Harrisburg to Philadelphia). This is the former mainline of the defunct Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) now owned and operated by the Norfolk Southern Railroad Company (NS) west and Amtrak east.
