It looks like it is now also a bus transfer station.

Opened in 1929 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Lancaster station continues to serve Amtrak as a key stop along the Keystone corridor. It sees twenty-six arrivals by the Keystone Service on weekdays and The Pennsylvanian arrives once daily from both NYC and Pittsburgh. The station's beautiful interior was restored in the mid 2000s. 11/1/24

Lancaster Amtrak station, also the PA Railroad known as. It also serves 5 of the Red Rose Transit routes 3, 6, 10, 11, and 19. The eastbound track and station is closed off due to work, so the eastbound Amtrak trains are using the westbound side. The inside is 30th Street Jr. and the clocks give it a twist.
Opened in 1929.
Gary Gianotti: Very nice station! Is the renovations complete at this station. The last time I took a train here they were working on it!!

As a teenager in the 60’s, we lived a few short blocks from the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Lancaster station today the station still serves Amtrak trains multiple times per day. The station today is a blend of the historic and the modern.
I loved going over to the Station particularly when the GG1’s pulled named trains through town. Today the through tracks have been removed but the station lives on in fact and spirit.
David Wohlwill: Through tracks removed? During last time I rode on the train from New York City, (November 2024), the train stopped in Lancaster and then continued *through* to Pittsburgh.
Bev Smith: Tracks were realigned to eliminate turning from "through" tracks to tracks by the platforms and back again. That cut 20 minutes from running time between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. Amtrak's PENNSYLVANIAN runs between New York City, Philly, Harrisburg and Pittsburgh (as David Wohlwill commented), where it connects with the CAPITOL LIMITED to Chicago and Washington, D.C.

It is nice to see a station that still has platform canopies.
It appears that Reading used to have a branch that terminated in this town.
