In comparing old and new maps, it seems between Blandon and Temple on the Reading RR Reading-Allentown line that it
was realigned around Temple --
it used to go on the east side of Temple, and now from Allentwon
it goes north of Temple and then comes down the west side of Temple.
(using the tracks that used to go to Kempton on the west side).
When was this done? In the Conrail days,or back in the Reading days?
And when was the line east of Temple abandoned?
