Amtrak and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation have received a $15.9 million federal State of Good Repair grant that will be used on the Keystone Line.
The project involves signal upgrades on the Amtrak-owned line that is used by the intercity passenger carrier’s Keystone Service and Pennsylvanian trains.
Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority trains also use the line.
The work will occur between Paoli and Overbrook and allow for bidirectional train movement on all tracks and higher operating speeds.
The line is owned by Amtrak.
