Amtrak will soon expand service on the Pennsylvanian with a second daily round trip beginning Nov. 18, providing customers with more travel options between New York City and Pittsburgh and communities across Pennsylvania.

Tickets for the new departures are now available on Amtrak.com and the Amtrak mobile app. This second daily roundtrip will provide greater scheduling flexibility while enhancing connectivity for residents, visitors, and business travelers throughout the region.

The additional frequency is the result of close collaboration among Amtrak, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Norfolk Southern and the Federal Railroad Administration, supported by ongoing infrastructure and safety improvements along the route.

Customers traveling aboard the Pennsylvanian enjoy Coach and Business Class seating, free Wi-Fi, café service and trainside checked bicycle service, allowing customers to bring their bikes onboard for travel across Pennsylvania and the Northeast Corridor.

The Pennsylvanian route is financed primarily through funds made available by PennDOT. For more information, along with photos and video from the Oct. 6 PennDOT announcement in Johnstown, Pa., click here.
