Normal Harrisburg and Lancaster Amtrak services are set to resume next month.
Amtrak ’s renewal project on its Harrisburg line is quickly progressing and ahead of schedule, allowing the replacement bus services to end Nov. 7, two weeks earlier than originally planned, officials said.
Passengers are encouraged to begin scheduling tickets for travel rail services between Harrisburg and Lancaster, as rides are expected to resume Nov. 8 and beyond, an Amtrak release said.The wooden ties currently used in the region only have an estimated lifespan of 25 years while the concrete ties are expected to last 60 years, officials said.
It normally would have taken two years to complete the project, but Amtrak’s expansion of track-outage windows has allowed more efficient work and reduced the duration of customer impacts.Beloved ‘80s pop group cancels tour while singer battles cancer If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
