Due to overhead power issues and debris on the track Amtrak's Keystone Service between Philadelphia and Harrisonburg for Tuesday has been suspended.

There are many Amtrak train cancellations and delays in effect for Tuesday and Wednesday.

The following services have been adjusted on the Northeast Corridor:

1. Where is Harrisonburg?

I went to college in Philly, and have never heard of the place.

2. Could be Harrisburg.

It’s the capital of PA. Amtrak runs through there.

5. I knew about Harrisburg, of course

I just figured that someone writing a news article about the route would know the difference.

6. It appears to be autocorrect's version of Harrisburg. There is a Harrisonburg, but it's in Virginia.

And good morning.

7. Good morning as well--exceptionally

I am in North America for a couple of weeks. I‘m already fielding the expected barrage of „what are you doing over there, and when are you back?“ calls, but I get to see my US-based family and friends little enough as it is. Every now and then, I put the real world on hold. Nobody can be everywhere at once, and I stopped trying long ago.

3. According to Transitdocs

there is one train eastbound (644) coming into Lancaster at the moment.

We have seen maintenance units moving on the corridor already, but that's all so far.

4. 644 just passed Paradise, Pa. with Amtrak 130 pulling the usual electric locomotive

and it's train, with it's pantograph retracted. I guess diesel is the only method of propulsion for the time being.
