One of the last AEM-7s built (Sept 1988) trundles to a stop at E-Town with two Heritage coaches, on its way to Harrisburg. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Amtrak invested $140 Million to upgrade the Keystone Line in 2006, removing the old PRR 152-lb jointed rail seen in this photo, and replacing it with welded rail. In 2009, the station here was refurbished and high-level platforms were added, using monies from the "Stimulus Fund." The actual station building, out of the photo to the left, had been closed for decades, with no access to restroom facilities nearby. The 947 was not rebuilt to AC-traction, and is now retired. 947 was built by EMD to a Swedish-design by ASEA (Allm?nna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget; or "General Swedish Electrical, Inc.,") which merged with Brown-Boveri in 1988, to form ABB.
