I'm sure the info is out there but I can't find it.

Is Reading Road (which runs basically parallel to Hamilton street in Allentown from east of Cedar Crest to St. Elmo Street) the old grade for the never built Allentown Railroad or something else?

Are there any maps available which show the proposed ROW?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
