Not to Philly, but to Pittsburgh, yes. I'll explain:

The Pennsylvanian is the Amtrak train that runs between the two cities, originating in New York and terminating in Pittsburgh. It runs entirely on Amtrak-owned and operated rail from New York to Harrisburg, initially via the Northeast Corridor to Philadelphia, then to Harrisburg via the Keystone Corridor. These two sections are some of the only electrified rail lines in the entire country. From Harrisburg, the Pennsylvanian switches over to Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, which is the line that runs through Horseshoe Curve. It runs through twice a day, once eastbound in the mid to late morning and once westbound in the late afternoon.

Either that, or send the trains to Tyrone and connect to Harrisburg that way. Probably easier. That said, the spur line is ill-maintained jointed rail speed limited to 10-15 mph, as frequently tends to be the case with short line railroads all across the country. Amtrak service would demand significant upgrades, and the spur line doesn't even get close to downtown anyway.

I do think there would be some demand for train service to State College, if the number of Penn State students I've seen getting off the Amtrak in Tyrone and carpooling back to campus is anything to go by.

I-99 from State College to Altoona is only rivaled for scenery by I-70 from Breezewood to the Mason Dixon Line. Even then, it is not much of a contest as I-99 has mostly unobstructed views of the valley below unlike I-70. Some of my favorite drives have been southbound on I-99 on a clear day when the morning fog has yet to subside from the valley below. On those days, it genuinely looks like you are on a floating landmass in the sky.

Since others are also including non-Interstate divided highways in this thread, I will also mention US-219 from Ebensburg to Meyersdale, which has its fair share of stunning views as well. It is a bit under the radar given that it is not the most frequently traveled of roads in the state, and, to be honest, I have no idea why it is a four lane divided highway to begin with. But, it is a very pretty drive nonetheless, especially in the fall, and I love driving that stretch on my way to the Youghiogheny River watershed for my leisurely sojourns with the river.

PennDOT should be beginning work on the high speed interchange onto I-80 the Bellefonte exit within the next year or two. The first part of that project was building a new exit for PA-26/Jacksonville Rd, which was completed within the last couple of months. As for the high speed interchange off of I-80 ... Can't say I know what the solution is there.

Can't say it's been my ideal winter, but, then again, my ideal winter would always feature a two foot snowstorm in November and not a single day above freezing afterwards until the middle of March, so ...

Makes me wonder what the criteria are to be considered a restaurant on this map. I only know of a couple of places in Emporium and maybe one or two along 120 near Driftwood and Sinnemahoning.

I have always felt similarly about Vermont, with the main difference being that I have never lived there. I love it every time I visit, and oftentimes return back home to Pennsylvania wishing that I could call Vermont home. Then, once I return to thinking logically about my interests in life, I realize that Vermont is not exactly a realistic destination and that Pennsylvania, for the most part, is just fine. That being said, I will try my best to visit Vermont at least once a year for as long as I live.
