Allentown, PA Morning Call, 12/11/15:

Amtrak running one passenger train from Allentown to New York City next spring


For the first time since the 1980s, passenger rail enthusiasts next spring will get a chance to catch a train from Allentown to New York City.

But don't expect to be commuting daily to the Big Apple any time soon, because this will be a one-time event meant to generate excitement for efforts to restore passenger rail between the Lehigh Valley and New York.


Let's not fight over those available seats! :)

Story is here.

Allentown, PA Morning Call, 9/9/16:


Allentown's train to NYC jumps the tracks

f you're one of the many Lehigh Valley residents who fantasize about taking the train to New York, you should know that it will remain just that — a fantasy.

 

This does not sound good.
