====Intercity passenger rail====
[[Amtrak]] provides service to and from Harrisburg. The passenger rail operator runs its ''[[Keystone Service (Amtrak)|Keystone Service]]'' and ''[[Pennsylvanian (train)|Pennsylvanian]]'' routes between New York, Philadelphia, and the [[Harrisburg Transportation Center]] daily. The ''Pennsylvanian'' route, which operates once daily, continues west to [[Pittsburgh]]. As of April 2007, Amtrak operates 14 weekday roundtrips and 8 weekend roundtrips daily between Harrisburg, [[Lancaster, Pennsylvania|Lancaster]], and [[30th Street Station]] in [[Philadelphia]]; most of these trains also travel to and from [[New York Penn Station]]. The [[Keystone Corridor]] between Harrisburg and Philadelphia was improved in the mid-first decade of the 21st century, with the primary improvements completed in late 2006. The improvements included upgrading the electrical catenary, installing continuously welded rail, and replacing existing wooden railroad ties with concrete ties. These improvements increased train speeds to 110&nbsp;mph along the corridor and reduced the travel time between Harrisburg and Philadelphia to as little as 95 minutes. It also eliminated the need to change locomotives at 30th Street Station from diesel to electric and vice versa for trains continuing to or coming from New York City.

As of 2008, the Harrisburg Transportation Center was the 2nd busiest Amtrak station in Pennsylvania and 21st busiest in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amtrak.com/pdf/factsheets/PENNSYLVANIA08.pdf |year=2008 |title=Amtrak Passenger Station Factsheet |publisher=Amtrak |access-date=April 24, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/am2Copy/Title_Image_Copy_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1081442674300&ssid=542 |year=2008 |title=Amtrak National Facts |publisher=Amtrak |access-date=April 24, 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080120101132/http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak%2Fam2Copy%2FTitle_Image_Copy_Page&c=am2Copy&cid=1081442674300&ssid=542 |archive-date=January 20, 2008}}</ref>
