Unfortunately for you, southeast Pennsylvania is the epicenter of failed railroads. They have been failing there since the 20's. That's 1920's, not 2020's. Mostly due to the coal industry.
They failed in the 20's and were scrapped in the 70's.
"Since the 1920s Pennsylvania has lost about 57% of its rail infrastructure due to so many abandonments of anthracite railroads and low-density branch/secondary lines."
Pennsylvania railroads date back to the Mauch Chunk Switchback Gravity Railroad of 1827 and nearly every major eastern line could once be found there. The state's importance has not diminished today.

Low density is not profitable.
