What the National Weather Service wrote

A severe thunderstorm producing winds estimated near 60 mph knocked down approximately 15 large trees across railroad tracks to the east of Lewistown, causing the delay of an Amtrak passenger train for an hour while the trees were removed.

The wider storm

Showers and thunderstorms developed in a warm and humid airmass over central Pennsylvania with moderate CAPE and very little CIN ahead of an approaching cold front. A few of the storms produced sporadic wind damage, and the widespread nature of this activity allowed the event to evolve into a flash flooding threat as well.

Began near Highland Park (40.5908, -77.5106).
