Rails-to-trails info: The Ghost Town Trail runs on the Blacklick Secondary from the PA 403 crossing in Dilltown eastward to Nanty Glo and along the Rexis Branch from Rexis northward to US 422. Plans are in the works to extend it eastward to Ebensburg and westward to Black Lick along the Blacklick Secondary. There are also plans to convert most of the remaining abandoned C&I right of way into rail-trails to be known as the C&I Trail and the Manver Line Trail.
From 1922 until 1975, the New York Central (and its successors) owned 40% of the C&I. Here's an NYC map of the C&I from the 1940's:
