Fantasy PA Capitol Area Regional Rail

Map is Public
created 1 week ago
updated 1 week ago
Following exclusively existing track and/or rights of way (rails-to-trails, etc.), this is my concept for a regional rail network around Harrisburg and Lancaster. I do not incorporate any notion of light rail in this map, but I could envision some being built particularly in the northeast Harrisburg metro area. My concept is an S-bahn-type system, with all lines through-running and interlined up the spine of the city to partly double as a system of local rapid transit. Selinsgrove Dinky works like the Princeton Dinky, with a timed transfer to its parent line.
