The track is good south of Oxford, PA, to Herr Foods. South of that the track is tree covered storage until it stops at a material handling facility. So Oxford and Herr Foods must be served from the east over this trestle. In fact there is a spur off the north side of Oxford to serve Tastykake.

I traced the route east to obvious activity in Avondale. Going further east, I find it joining another route in Chadds Ford, PA.
