Driving down to Harford County, MD this past Friday night, I happened to look down at the north bank of the Susquehanna as I crossed it on 95 on the Millard Tidings Bridge. I noticed a RoW with illuminated PRR-style position light signals to the west of the bridge. What line is this and who does it belong to? How many trains a day use it?

That line is an old electrified line (PRR) from Harrisburg, running along the north bank of the Susquehanna River, connecting to the Northeast Corridor.

I forget the technical name of the line under PRR ownership.
