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.

About Me

Samuel C. Walker
I grew up near Altoona, PA when the Pennsylvania Railroad cast a wide shadow over the area. That is the basis for my interest in the railroad industry. The Pennsylvania Railroad operated a research and development facility called the "Test Plant." That's the reason for the name of the blog.
