And isn’t the railroad you’re referring to in the middle of the picture now the Schuylkill River Trail?

Good question! The tracks seen in the center would become the Perkiomen Trail.
The Schuylkill River Trail is a mile south of this picture. The Schuylkill River Trail sits on what was, for a time, the Pennsylvania Railroad that ran between Philly and Harrisburg.

SRT still follows the rail line to Reading pretty closely, just on the other side of the river(in berks)
