The line that you saw is the ex-PRR Trenton Cutoff now known as the NS Morrisville line. It was originally electrified double-track and ran from Morrisville to Glen Interlocking on the Main Line and the C&A Low Grade line to the west. Most of the traffic on this now single track line, (primarily a couple double stacks in each direction daily) runs between Earnest (Norristown) and either Morrisville or the connector to CSX (ex-RDG) at Woodbourne. The only real traffic west of Earnest is a unit gondola train which runs occasionally between Coatesville and Morrisville.
You are correct about the PRR line that ran along the Schuylkill to Reading, Pottsville and Wilkes Barre. It was only electrified as far as Norristown. That ROW now makes up the Valley Forge trail between Shawmont and Oaks.
