(Johnstown, PA) PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll announced today that the second daily roundtrip Pennsylvanian train service will begin service on November 18th, after close collaboration with Amtrak and Norfolk Southern.

Tickets for this train will be available this week, which doubles the service on the 444-mile route between Pittsburgh and New York via Harrisburg, Philadelphia, and stops that are in between.  

The Shapiro Administration has invested over $80 million into the rail expansion, with construction either already underway or finished.

Service expansion will give more Pennsylvanians access to modern, safe, reliable passenger rail service that gets them where they need to go; therefore, connecting Pennsylvania communities and bringing jobs, economic development, and infrastructure investment with it.

Tickets for the second daily Pennsylvanian will be available this week on Amtrak’s website (click here) and Amtrak’s mobile app.
