Pennsylvanian (train)

Common card · No. 278732

The Pennsylvanian is a 444-mile (715 km) daily daytime Amtrak train running between Pittsburgh and New York City, via Philadelphia. The trains travel across the Appalachian Mountains, through Pennsylvania's capital Harrisburg, the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, suburban and central Philadelphia, and New Jersey en-route to New York. The entire train ride takes about 9 hours total: 5+1⁄2 hours between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, 2 hours between Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and 1+1⁄2 between Philadelphia and New York. A second daily round trip is planned to begin in November 2026. The Pennsylvanian uses the same Amtrak-owned Philadelphia-Harrisburg Main Line as the Keystone Service trains, but continues further west via the Pittsburgh Line through Altoona and the Allegheny Mountains, eventually terminating at Pittsburgh. The Main Line and Pittsburgh Line collectively make up the Keystone Corridor, a federally-designated corridor for high-speed rail service.
