Elizabethtown is a station stop for the Keystone Service that connects Philadelphia and the state capital at Harrisburg, as well as for the Pennsylvanian that runs between New York and Pittsburgh. A dozen daily trains serve the Keystone Corridor, making Elizabethtown a popular boarding point for commuters headed to Harrisburg, which is only 20 minutes away by rail. Closed in 1979, the station building sat abandoned for more than three decades as town officials labored to raise funds and plan for its rehabilitation. Completed in early 2011, the restored century-old depot has retained many of its original historic details and is “a real gem that [the] community can be proud of.”
