As of November 2004, this train seems to have been discontinued. (Ian R, 30/11/04)
As of July, 2005, the Pennsylvanian is definitely running.
In the Amtrak National Timetable of May 16, 1999 the Pennsylvanian was listed as train numbers 44 (eastbound) and 43 (westbound) not 42 and 43 as stated in this page.

message: The photos show diesel locomotives under wires; does Amtrak change to electric locomotives on the electrified section of this train? --84.119.44.177 (talk) 18:28, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The Pennsylvanian is powered by an overhead electric locomotive (AEM-7) both ways between Penn Station in NY and 30th St. Station in Philadelphia where the switch to diesel electric power is made. Although the Amtrak owned portion of the Keystone Corridor from Philadelphia to Harrisburg is also electrified, the train is diesel powered over this portion as well as the Harrisburg to Pittsburgh section of the grade (which belongs to Norfolk Southern) that is not electrified. Amtrak's NY-Harrisburg Keystone Service also used to change power between electric and diesel in Philadelphia, but since 2009 these trains now make the entire run under electric power with no locomotive change at Philadelphia.

message: Train 44 was (to the best of my knowledge) nothing more than a Sunday-only schedule variation. It's been gone for years. I don't see much purpose in listing it in the infobox. If we had a source discussing why the Pennsylvanian had a different eastbound schedule on Sundays then that would be worth discussing in the article. Mackensen (talk) 02:59, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Hello! I just noticed there is no information since 2011, and there definitely should be, as this is a good article. I don't know much about the route, as I have only taken it a few times, but I was hoping someone else with more knowledge could chime in. Thanks! –Daybeers (talk) 23:49, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

message: The Pennsylvanian is recongnized as the successor to the Three Rivers, which ceased service in 2005.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.5.122.1 (talk) 20:37, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The Pennsylvanian existed 15 years before the Three Rivers, and they were only combined for a short period of time. Listing it as the successor to the Three Rivers is misleading. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:47, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
