Followed the old right or way on GooglEarth to Kreamer Feed, Inc.
Does anyone knowhen thatrack was removed? Thank you.

GooglEarth satelite view of Lewistown heading east down Chestnut Street:
 
I see the track on the map. Are you saying there is no physical evidence it was there? Seems to run straight through the X pine, spruce and elm make?
 


The track heading north crosses Pine, Spruce and Elm and had only crossbuck signs. GooglEarth streetview shows expensive cantilevered mee-mool lights (o)T(o) there.

GooglEarth satelite reveals the track running east across US22 to Joe Krentzman & Son. Then taken up all the way to Kreamer Feed.
Then continues from Kreamer Feed east to Selingrove.
Many towns have a Railroad Avenue or Railroad Street.

Zooming in to Beavertown, Railroad Avenue aligns with a gently-curving line of trees which appears to be the former right of way heading east:

In the 1960's a mee-mool light here had south-facing red glass lens |> which protruded way out from each lamp presumably so the (o)T(o) could be seen 90º from the side from a single-lane approaching from the east. As a little boy I hated its ugly bug-eyed appearance.
