If you're questioning 1008, that number is used when trains depart the day before the spring time change. You'll notice there are 1005, 1006, 1003 and 1004 on the map too.
With a 9:30PM departure 48 is much more reliable than 30. I usually go to Harrisburg Pa when coming in on one of the Western trains and even though it will arrive in Harrisburg with a connection in NY late at night it’s more reliable than relying on 30 and 42 which gets in nine hours earlier, plus I avoid that transfer at 6AM in Pittsburgh’s dungeon
1007(11) is back on the map running about 2 hours late through ND7(10) is running 12 hours late
It appears 7(11) may have been cancelled?? Can't find any info on it,
When did 48 start serving Harrisburg, PA?
"... arrive in Harrisburg with a connection in NY late at night..." I think Sidney is recommending taking the LSL to NYP and connecting to a train to Harrisburg there. 48 arrives in NYP at 6:42 PM (an hour later today due to DST change!) and there is an 8:30 PM Keystone train which arrives in Harrisburg about midnight. And you get to wait in the new lounge rather than in the Pittsburgh dungeon!
A taxi is recommended, as that opens up many possible hotel/motel options. There is a Residence Inn a third of a mile northwest of the station in the Pearl District that is a level walk.

Well, as a regular rider of the Builder as it is my rail transportation to the east, you get most of the scenic highlights between the western terminals and East Glacier. Some enjoy eastern Montana. But I think of it as West Dakota. The only thing you miss is the Mississippi River running between La Crosse and St. Paul, which is quite scenic.
