Help save your train: The Amtrak Pennsylvanian route may end

One of Pittsburgh remaining train routes may end come this October. If the route is eliminated it would leave Pittsburgh with no direct passenger train connections to Philadelphia and New York and end Amtrak service to Greensburg, Latrobe, Johnstown, Altoona, Tyrone, Huntington and Lewistown. Help save your train and contact Governor Corbett and your state legislators in Harrisburg at www.bit.ly/pagovlet and voice why Amtrak's Pennsylvanian is important.

My family and I live in Pittsburgh and our kids use the train to get back and forth to Philadelphia and New York from school and work. The Amtrak is our gateway from city to city ...please keep it open!

Please save our train service in Pennsylvania. It may not seem like it, but train service is very important to our infrastrature. Thank you.
