Former PRR Electrified Line at Columbia, PA

Hello all,

I was recently on a drive in a part of PA I never go to. As we crossed the Susquehanna River at Columbia, PA, I noted some PRR Bow tie-style catenary poles lining the East Bank of the river. Which branch of the Pennsy was this? When was the copper torn down? What is it today?

Thanks in advance.

I believe that is the Port Road Branch:

The article says that electrification ended in 1981.
