I'm asking the membership's help with this one. So many of you have an in-depth understanding of the operations of Amtrak that someone out there might know who i can ask for further info.
Keystone Service in Pennsylvania is funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. To what degree it is funded I don't know. Due to the current "Budget Crisis" here in PA I want to know if this train could be suddenly cancelled. I have reservations for this train extending out to early December, '15.
I've sent Amtrak 2 e-mails. Answers are non-committal No plans to cancel service at this time...blah, blah....
Sent e-mails to Commonwealth Reps..............no replies, not surprising....
Just returned from Amtrak Station, Harrisburg, spoke with Amtrak Agent, agent told me it could stop tomorrow, no notice. No clear info as to whether Amtrak will continue to "carry" Keystone Service until budget is passed or????
A number of other states have local Amtrak service funded by those states. What has happened in those states when there is a problem with the State funding and any ideas as to who to contact at Amtrak .......going past the Amtrak e-mail...... for any possible info?
