Keystone & Pennsylvanian cabins
Don't take Amtrak much. Can anyone tell me if the interiors of the Keystone & Pennsylvanian have been retrofitted with the newer gray leather seats like the NEC lines? Any difference in between the Keystone/Pennsylvanian trains besides schedules? Taking Newark to Lancaster, PA

At this point all Amfleet I cars should be fully refurbed, nationwide.
To clarify what DailyGrind said, Keystones don't have Cafe cars or Business Class, though the Pennsylvanian has both.

Pennsylvanian is generally a more pleasant ride as it is reserved seating for the full route so it doesn't get as swarmed at PHL. Not enough of a difference for me to not take the most convenient schedule though.

Half sit forward and half sit backward. Seats are positioned both ways.

That said, enough people get off in PHL that there is always plenty of room to switch seats if you want to always be forward.
