The Lancaster Amtrak station is 5.1 miles from LNS.
A few reasons why this is unlikely to happen...

1. LNS is only 40 min from MDT...a very underutilized airport with great infrastructure
2. G4 flies from MDT to every major FL beach / family destination with the exception of MIA, EYW and JAX
3. F9's MDT-MCO service has dropped to seasonal
4. F9 already has large ops at PHL and TTN...both easy to get to from the western Philly suburbs and offer multiple destinations
5. The Lancaster Amtrak station is 5.1 miles of traffic lights from LNS. Can be as much as 30 min drive in rush hour

I'll never say never, but I'd be surprised.
