Amtrak Villanova, PA
Westbound Amtrak Keystone #653 speeds through the curve approaching Villanova, Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Railroad electrified the route from Philadelphia to Paoli with AC propulsion starting in 1915. Although Amtrak's recent track improvements increased the maximum speed limit and modern locomotives from Siemens power the trains, tubular trolley poles and the massive position light signal bridge from the original project remain more than 100 years later.
