[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by michaelstevens [8D] Mike, The original electrification was from Zoo junction (Philadelphia) to Enola yard, which is across the Rockville (stone arches) bridge from Harrisburg, on the West side of the Susquehanna River. There was also an electrified bypass line (across Phila's northern suburbs) from Morrisville (Trenton) to a flyover junction at Exton. As 440cuin says; the O/H wires are still in use from Phila to Harrisburg, occasionally they'll put an AEM7 on the Keystone trains (sorry Tom) but usually, along with the Three Rivers and the Pennsylvanians, they use P42's. Also for Mike's info; there are 4 tracks to Paoli, then 2 tracks to Harrisburg -- all under catenary. Septa runs its silver liners and/or ALP 44's (with 5 car p/p sets) out to Thorndale (West of Downingtown). tomfuchs -- I don't have any info on any extra trains between Lancaster and H'burg -- other than ongoing political efforts to augment the Keystone service. Checking the schedule, it looks like there presently 8 trains each way, per day. Happy Amtraking !! [:D] Mike in Philly [:D] [/quote] Thanks Mike for the info. I have been trackside a few times (keystone) recently, and have only seen the AEM7's (small trains, just a few coaches). I have seen the P42's roll north through Wilmington and always wondered where they were heading. I guess they make a left in Philly and head west?
