It's continuing on because it's not reliant on SEPTA having money to actually do it, it's going to be Amtrak who actually provides the service and pays for its implementation.

Hopefully SEPTA can get better funding from the PA government some day. Dems getting control of the state House helps.

I think it’s more likely the Fed’s told SEPTA they would support one but not both of these projects because it doesn’t make sense to do both. Who’s gonna take the KOP rail and transfer at 69th St when you could just take a one-seat ride into center city from Phoenixville or Valley Forge? Ideally they’d find a way to have this serve KOP properly, that’s the most sensible thing IMO.
