From the Inquirer:<BR><BR>"Amtrak service between Philadelphia and Harrisburg will be faster<BR>and more frequent by Halloween.<BR><BR>"A conversion from diesel to electric service will enable trains to<BR>run at up to 110 m.p.h., shaving anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes off<BR>the 104-mile trek.<BR><BR>"The faster service will allow Amtrak to offer more runs with its<BR>existing equipment. Three daily round-trip express trips, and one on<BR>Saturday and Sunday, will be added to the current weekly lineup of 67<BR>round-trips, Gov. Rendell and Amtrak board chairman David M. Laney<BR>announced yesterday.<BR><BR>"At a time when all we hear about is mounting congestion on our<BR>highways and in our airports, it's a rare privilege to be able to<BR>stand here and tell commuters and travelers that we've just given you<BR>back part of your day," Laney said."<BR><BR><A href="http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/15504127.htm"><FONT color=#9136ad>http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/15504127.htm</FONT></A><BR><BR>Dave<BR>
