Amtrak and PennDOT Restore Keystone Service

In coordination with state partners at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, beginning Monday, April 25, Amtrak is adding additional Keystone Service trains (operating between Harrisburg, Philadelphia and New York) in response to anticipated increased demand. Two new weekday trains will also be added and on the weekends, all pre-pandemic Philadelphia to Harrisburg service will be fully restored.

Currently, Amtrak is operating 18 weekday trains (nine in each direction) between Philadelphia and Harrisburg. Similarly, 14 weekday trains (seven in each direction) are currently offered between New York and Philadelphia and 10 weekend trains (five in each direction). Once the new service begins, 24 weekday trains (12 in each direction) will be offered each day between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, with 14 available on Saturdays (seven in each direction) and 16 on Sundays (eight in each direction). Between New York and Philadelphia, 20 weekday trains (10 in each direction) will be offered with 12 on Saturdays (six in each direction) and 11 on Sundays (five trains operating from Philadelphia to New York and six trains from New York to Philadelphia.)
