<P>From the Patriot-News:</P> <P>"Gov. Ed Rendell joked yesterday that no one, with the possible exception of a state trooper, could drive from Harrisburg to downtown Philadelphia in 90 minutes. </P> <P>"Starting on Oct. 30, anyone can travel that fast -- by train. </P> <P>"Rendell and Amtrak Chairman David M. Laney announced that after years of delay, 110-mph trains are ready to roll on the 104-mile Keystone Corridor between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. </P> <P>"A wide array of expensive improvements also means that diesel locomotives will be replaced by cleaner and more efficient electric trains, Amtrak officials said. Trains running between Harrisburg and New York City will no longer need to switch from diesel engines to electric, and passengers will not need to switch trains in Philadelphia." </P> <P><A href="http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1158122418160960.xml&coll=1">http://www.pennlive.com/news/patriotnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1158122418160960.xml&coll=1</A></P> <P>Dave<BR></P>
