PennDOT is throwing its support behind developing passenger rail service in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Congressman Matt Cartwright revealed that PennDOT plans to spearhead the application process.

Now if the rail project happens, officials say Amtrak trains would take people from Scranton and the Poconos to big cities like New York City and even Boston.
