where exactly does the line end in Downtown Pittsburgh?


I think its Conpitt Jct
The Pittsburgh sub ends in the passenger station at Pittsburgh. The tracks continue across the Allegheny River and on west to Chicago. Conpitt Jct is to the east, near Johnstown, Pa.

But at Hershey Park on the map of the park it says Amtrak station.


Well Amtrak does sponsor Hershey and there are quite a few ads for Amtrak but no Amtrak station.

Well Amtrak doesn't even go to Hershey, the closest they go to Hershey is Harrisburg, also the NS line is the Harrisburg Line which see's about 30 to 50 trains a day (all freight), also though you'd like to know all the main lines that CR used to own are known as Lines, not Subdivisions (branches are known as Secondarys) , just thought you'd like to know.[:)]

I have a question. At the Amtrak station in Hershey Park, does the NS Pittsburg Sub. go through there also? Or does only Amtrak go through there? One more question, is the Amtrak station actully in the park?
