The Schuylkill Branch was a rail line owned and operated by the former Pennsylvania Railroad in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The line ran from the Philadelphia to Harrisburg Main Line at 52nd Street in Philadelphia north via Norristown Reading and Pottsville to Delano Junction (near Delano). From Delano Junction the PRR had trackage rights over the Lehigh Valley Railroad’s Hazleton Branch and Tomhicken Branch to Tomhicken where the PRR’s Catawissa Branch began.
