Some awesome stuff for sure in this. I'm gonna miss those AEM7's when they are gone, wish Amtrak kept it in phase III.

Connection from the Pennsy up to the Reading. It has been slightly reconfigured in the mid 90's to permit higher speeds on it.

I think the wye they used was the original Cumberland Valley Line or Lebanon Valley Line. I cant remember which. I know its one of those (or neither lol). I thought Amtrak didn't re-electrify the line west of Lancaster until the 90s?

What's the line to right with the crossing?

[@kevinhoward9593]

its NS (not anyway) Harrisburg Line. It used to be the Reading's Line. Reading trains used to go to Harrisburg Station (which was built as a Union Station originally) until PRR kicked them out.
