The Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line is an electrified rail line owned and operated by Amtrak in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The line runs from Zoo interlocking (MP 1.9) in Philadelphia, where it meets the Northeast Corridor, west to Harrisburg (MP 104.6), where electrification ends. It is part of the longer Keystone Corridor, which continues west to Pittsburgh along the Norfolk Southern Railway's Pittsburgh Line.〔Federal Railway Administration, 〕 The line runs along the route of the former Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line and passes through the Philadelphia Main Line, the suburban region named for it. Amtrak's ''Keystone Service'' and ''Pennsylvanian'' operate over the entire line. SEPTA Regional Rail Paoli/Thorndale Line trains operate east of Thorndale, with the rights to continue revenue service west to Parkesburg and to run west to Cork Interlocking (just east of Amtrak's Lancaster station) to reverse direction.〔 Freight trackage rights over the whole line are assigned to the Norfolk Southern Railway. The Canadian Pacific Railway also has rights over a small piece near Harrisburg, from the west end to Roy Interlocking in Royalton, to allow CP trains to get from the end of their Sunbury Line or Allentown to Perryville, Maryland.〔 ==Future== Of more than $26 million allocated to Pennsylvania rail projects by the 2009 American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, $25.6 million will be used to eliminate three grade crossings on the Philadelphia to Harrisburg Line. The elimination of the last grade crossings will allow for trains to travel at speeds up to 125 mph, instead of only 110 mph.〔http://www.pennlive.com/editorials/index.ssf/2010/03/americas_foray_into_high-speed.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
