around Oaks, PA, there is an abandoned (I think) branch line that stems off of Amtrak (I think) and at the end, has some old locomotives sitting out on a siding. After the siding, the line turns 90 degrees north and continues for a long time. There is even a bridge over Hollow Road. It more or less disappears into the trees, only reappearing on a small girder bridge, until it comes to Mont Clare, PA, and crosses this beautiful curved stone trestle, which also crosses the Schuylkill River, coming into Phoenixville. The part of the line has looked like it was originally double track, then single track until its abandonment. At Devault, it crosses under the PA Turnpike, until it ends very abruptly (according to Google Maps) in Sidley, PA, with what seems to be a small abandoned yard. Unless I missed something, then that is all that this line leads to, with many former industries along the line.
