Plus there's a couple of NS locals that have to serve the industries along that stretch. There's not that large of a night window currently - so trying to run a passenger train in the middle of it is probably not going to happen.Thus, run CM* on 640's schedule east of Harrisburg. Whether or not Amtrak would release a precious Viewliner from its "reserve" stock for such a service and whether Pennsylvania would pay for a money losing sleeper (per Amtrak), that remains the bigger question. However, I think most would be surprised at how many business folks would actually book a sleeper space for travel between Harrisburg and NYP just to get some early work done or just sleep! The Three Rivers had folks booking space in sleeper when coach seats were not available!!!
