Very nice map. The line to Reading used to continue on to Pottsville until about 25 years ago.

Indeed, a very nice map. A few changes you might want to consider:
In the "too-long-gone and obliterated" category:
>P&W to Strafford
>Red Arrow to West Chester
In the "pipe dream" category:
>Reading to Wyomissing (dash it on towards Pottsville instead)
>Stoney Creek branch

Those are all on there. (well, not the Pottsville dashes).

Great map... If you were a glutton for punishment, you might be able to cram some subway surface lines. Rt 15... Rt 23...

Also there are some abandoned trolley lines in Montgomery County. Phillytrolley.com has the maps.

Thanks. I'm not sure exactly which tracks go to Pottsville, since there are many tracks around Reading, PA. When I have time I'll have to look that up and update the map. For now, I'm editing some stuff at wikipedia.
