about Harrisburg

Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania, a state of the United States of America. As of the 2000 census, it has a population of 48,950. It is the county seat of Dauphin County and lies on the banks of the Susquehanna River.

Harrisburg is the home of the Harrisburg Senators minor league baseball team.

Harrisburg is also known for the infamous Three Mile Island incident, which occurred in nearby Middletown.

Harrisburg is the name city of Harrisburg International Airport, which is located in Middletown.

The Pennsylvania Railroad's main line from New York to Chicago passed, unsurprisingly, through Harrisburg. The line was electrified in the 1930s, with the wires reaching Harrisburg in 1938. They went no further. Plans to electrify through to Pittsburgh and thence to Chicago never saw fruition; sufficient funding was never available. Thus, Harrisburg became where the PRR's crack expresses such as the Broadway Limited changed from electric traction to (originally) a steam locomotive, and later a diesel locomotive.
