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.

Electrification Clearance for Double Stack Container Freight Trains

Electrified railroad lines have adequate clearance for double stack freight car operations. Pictured is the R1 SEPTA line in the vicinity of Philadelphia. The demonstrated clearance is on a former Reading Railroad electrified line now owned and operated by SEPTA.

From the top of the rail to the top of the double stack container is no more than 20 feet and 3 inches.
