This map from 1895 shows a branch off the Chestnut Hill Branch approximately north of Queen Lane, due west to Manayunk (can't tell if there's a connection to the Schuylkill Branch), then North by Northwest to the Trenton Cutoff around where the quarry is in Plymouth Meeting.

Does anyone have ANY information on this? I've never seen anything at all about such a branch .

It was the Plymouth and Whitemarsh Branch of the PRR. The route was electrified and saw some passenger detours whenever there was a wreck on the NY-PHL mainline.
