Where is the rail line in this picture ?

Is this a former PRR electrified line ?
Does it cross a river ?
It runs right behind the University City section of Philadelphia, and is seen behind Philly’s 30th Street Station. I do believe it was PRR at one time, but as you can see, there are no wires for phantographs any more. I have seen a lot of trains go by that area, as you can see in my location below my ranking. When I go into Pilly with my dad, I see a few pass by when we come in and when we leave, but a lot of action is in the 30th Street Station’s yard area. They have 2 restored PRR Eunits there in the tuscan paint.
See the line running SSW/NNE thru the words “30th St Sta” on the map

It was the two-track electrified freight bypass around the Philadelphia passenger stations. Zoo to****nal, so only 2-2.5 miles long.
Zoo to****nal, I meant to say.
Does it cross a river-- depends what you mean by “it”. Not while it’s between Zoo and****nal.
(All right-- why won’t this thing let me spell out A R S E N A L ?
