HARRISBURG –Amtrak, state officials, and other partners came together to celebrate the full restoration of their Keystone Service and thank customers for their patience during the Harrisburg Line Track Renewal Project, which concluded earlier this month. While the work was estimated to take about two years to complete, Amtrak developed an accelerated approach that expedited the project with a combination of single and full track outages, improving work efficiencies, and reducing the duration of the project. Over the past eight months, Amtrak crews replaced more than 43 miles of track and installed 113,000 concrete ties during the infrastructure project on Amtrak-owned tracks between Lancaster and Harrisburg. Amtrak customers and freight operators in the area will now benefit from improved ride quality and comfort, and increased service reliability thanks to the upgrades.
