Amtrak trains from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to Philadelphia are sold out for Friday (February 14) due to the Eagles Super Bowl parade. Fans hoping to travel to Philadelphia for the celebration had to secure tickets in advance, as the demand has exceeded capacity. Amtrak's Keystone Service, which operates in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, is experiencing high demand, with some trains completely booked between Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
To accommodate the surge in travelers, Amtrak has added extra capacity. However, tickets remain unavailable due to the overwhelming interest in attending the parade. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue and conclude at the Philadelphia Museum of Art between 2 and 3:15 p.m.
Philadelphia's William H. Gray III 30th Street Station serves as a major hub, connecting passengers to various destinations, including New York City, Lancaster, and Chicago. For those planning future travel, Amtrak offers a variety of routes and services, including the Keystone Service, which provides frequent daily service between New York City and Harrisburg via Philadelphia.
