Today, the track going East just north of Penn Street was the Reading. The Pennsy tracks to the East have been abandoned. I see that the Sunbury Rail Trail is using at least part of the old Pennsy route, https://maps.app.goo.gl/TWJXKAgQZEYV2HuX9.

I think some of these scars in the road and shoulder are from the Reading rails.
