| | Comments (0)

The state recently submitted applications for $3.1 billion in stimulus funds to make high-speed rail improvements, according to a news release.

One of the applications is for the Keystone Corridor East from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. It would include construction of four separate projects, including adding a third express track between Atglen and Paoli.

The improvements would help to increase the train speed to a maximum of 125 miles per hour, reducing trip times.
