PITTSBURGH — The Federal Railroad Administration is considering two new long-distance Amtrak routes, one of which would include Pittsburgh. Those routes will connect Dallas to New York and Detroit to New Orleans.

The Dallas-New York route also would include stops in Oklahoma City, Tulsa, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Columbus, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
