The Schuylkill River Passenger Rail Authority is on track to receive grant funding from the Federal Railroad Administration to restore passenger rail service in the Reading to Philadelphia corridor. Thomas E. Frawley, the authority’s executive director, said Monday the application to participate in the Federal Railroad Administration Corridor Identification and Development Program is expected to be approved soon. Officials said the earliest the service will start is in 2027. The rail service is expected to reduce vehicle congestion and create new property development. The application is for an intercity passenger rail with stops in Reading, Pottstown, Phoenixville, Philadelphia and New York. The authority consists of representatives from Berks, Chester and Montgomery counties working to secure federal funding and other contracts to restore passenger train service.
