I saw a billboard for this this morning; I think it is new. It is promoting the Keystone service between Harrisburg (HAR) and Philadelphia (PHL). The website is http://www.catchthekeystone.com.
It even has a comparison of ticket prices between HAR and PHL and the stations in-between and the cost of travel, based on the IRS's mileage reimbursement amount (though it is currently US$0.550/mile, not US$0.585/mile as suggested at the website). Also, information about the Pennsylvania stations, such as if there is parking or shelter, is provided.
The continuing service to New York City is mentioned on the home page, but doesn't seem to be focus of the campaign.
The site is (to my eye) appealing and clear. I may not use it often, but it is nice to see some effort by Amtrak and PennDOT (PA Dept. of Transportation) to publicize the Keystone.
