Summary
"As pioneers pushed westward, new roads were cut through the landscape, so that by the late 1720s, homesteaders were looking to cross the Susquehanna and occupy terriotry on the western side of the river. The family of the Reverend James Anderson (1678-1740) in Donegal began ferrying people across the waters, and the steady stream of pioneers eager to move west set up the demand for a public road."

"In support of HNTB Corporation, 300 Apollo Drive, Chelmsford, Massachusetts 01824 for the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), 30th Street Station, 2955 Market Street, Mailbox 41, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104; September 7, 2011.
Summary
"In 2010-11, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) undertook a project to upgrade electrical transmission along the right-of-way of the former Atglen & Susquehanna (A&S) Branch of the former Pennsylvania Raioroad (PRR) between the Safe Harbor Dam on the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and its Keystone Corridor near Parkesburg, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This upgrade was necessary to provide safe, reliable electrical service for its passenger trains both on the Keystone Corridor...and on the Northeast Corridor. The original electrical transmission infrastructure...was more than 20 years beyond its serviceable life, was subject to frequent outages caused by storms, ice, wind and fallen trees, and had become increasingly less reliable."
