On the Fast Track?

An old joke has it that State College is “equally inaccessible from everywhere,” but that situation might change someday if high-speed rail comes to town. President Obama has floated a plan for a high-speed rail program in the U.S., and Penn State is making a case for having State College included in a Pennsylvania high-speed line.
It’s premature to book your tickets, though. As the Penn State testimony before a state House subcommittee noted, people have been talking about bringing high-speed rail to central Pennsylvania since at least 1985.
