In 1827, Pennsylvania's first railroad organization was formed and, in 1828, the first rail line of the state linked Columbia with Philadelphia. In the later years of 1834, 1838, 1839, 1846 and 1855, Philadelphia was connected with Germantown, New Jersey, New York City, Reading, Trenton and Lehigh Valley.
In 1852, Pennsylvania Railroad started operating trains in Pittsburgh. With trackways connecting Buffalo, St. Louis, New York, Chicago and Washington Pennsylvania emerged as a prominent railroad facilitator in the following years.
Apart from commuter trains, the Lehigh Valley and Reading railroads of Pennsylvania support the freight carriage system of the Middle Atlantic zone. Equipped with ten 581 mile long rail lines, as per a 2000 survey, Pennsylvania is served by 60 railroad organizations.
