Why does the proposed Corridor One rail service no longer go to Cumberland County?
Early in 2006, the scope of the project changed, no longer providing service between a new East Mechanicsburg station and Lancaster. The Cumberland County portion of the project was to have three new stations. Additionally, two new stations, on City Island and at Harrisburg Hospital, were part of the project. Due to lack of support from the Cumberland County commissioners, the Cumberland County portion, and the two new stations in Harrisburg have been removed from the project. In the future, with support from Cumberland County, Corridor One may extend into the county, providing a valuable link between communities on both shores of the Susquehanna River.
