Are these trains Keystone or Pennsylvanian? Not really familiar with the area, but I know both run through here, at least I'm pretty sure.

The trains in the photos are all Keystones. The Keystones run with ACS-64 electrics (push or pull). The Pennsylvanian runs with diesel west of Philadelphia.

Does the Pennsylvanian start out of NYP with an electric, and then switch to diesel at Philly?

Yes, electric between NY and Phila.  And then diesel between Phila. and Pgh.

Two really great photos above.
I remember walking along the GG1's like that when we stopped at Lancaster many years ago.
