I found an interesting article, and I believe the structure mentioned was built by the Reading. Currently owned by the Reading Blue Mountain & Northern.
I added some comments, and I "Volunteered" some local railfans to offer to help the Director of Code Enforcement. The article states that he is afraid to go onto railroad property to survey the damage:

Representatives of Reading, Blue Mountain & Northern Railroad, Port Clinton, were in Pottsville Tuesday making plans to repair a more than 30-foot stretch of collapsed stone wall and iron railing near the tracks off South Centre Street. “There might be some other parties involved here. We can’t enforce our regulations on federal property, and they fall under federal regulations if I’m not mistaken. We’ll work with them to solve the problem because it affects our area,” said Donald J. Chescavage, city code enforcement director, who was also on the scene Tuesday. “We’re keeping an eye on the situation,” City Administrator Thomas A. Palamar said Tuesday.
