Another amazing video, thank you. While I would love for Reading to get an electrified train directly to Philadelphia CC; don't you think that the third largest urban area in the state, the Lehigh Valley, with the 3rd biggest city (Allentown) adjacent to 2 more sizeable cities Bethlehem and Easton should be prioritized for a direct train route to Philadelphia CC? There used to be at least 2 rail links from the Lehigh Valley to Philadelphia, 1 from Bethlehem and the other from Allentown. Currently, we don't even have a public or private bus from the the Lehigh Valley to Philadelphia; though if we drive 25 miles down 309, we can get the Doylestown Regional Rail at Colmar Station as it travels to Lansdale.
