Probably not a big freight destination - Amtrak (no c) mostly runs on freight lines.

This is a slightly different answer than the other one posted - note that there probably exists a rail connection to State College (as most towns of a moderate size in PA had a rail station), but the tracks are not being maintained any longer.

edit:

PSU had (limited) rail service until 1964. (regular service until 1945, special service after)

Place to complain about what was stolen from us.

There used to be a rail line that ran from Lock Haven through the south side of Nittany Valley up to Bellefonte. One of the stops was at the family sawmill behind the Walker Fire Hall.

You can still see remnants of the old bed on Google Maps satellite view - https://goo.gl/maps/XCXUACpwUc8WPKgy8

Plus Scotia, the current ghost town/shooting range, had a rail stop too up until the 40s/50s.
