Reply to "Dealing with real hobo train-hoppers today?"

The only way to ride the NS tracks in my area is to do it illegally or apply to be a locomotive engineer. Last public excursions through Allentown, PA was Amtrak specials in Oct 2016, and 765 in Aug 2015. But, Amtrak wants to start service from Allentown to New York in the future. But. that will still leave the Allentown to Reading and Harrisburg section without passenger service. There will also be a Reading to Philadelphia Amtrak route. The ex-Reading NS freight line connects with Amtrak at Zoo interlocking so an Amtrak train could go from Reading to 30th St. Station.
