The P&W was also called the Pig and Whistle. At Beechwood was the power plant along with the amusement park. Also one could get to Allentown via the Norristown line.
Both Norristown lines (the P&W interurban and the RDG commuter rail) met Lehigh Valley Transit (the Liberty Bell Line) at Norristown. From there the LVT went north to Allentown. Parts of the ROW are still visible north of Lansdale. The LVT ended service in 1951. Reportedly the closure was so abrupt that passengers were left stranded at stations, waiting for cars that would never arrive.
As far as I know the P&W right of way to Stratford Pennsylvania Railroad station was just like the rest of the system. It was all on private right of way that is the trail you were walking on. Since it was always third rail powered in the later era I do not think it ever ran on any road. It most likely crossed Rt. 30 with a bridge to the railroad station.
Yes, the ROW was completely private and had no at-grade crossings or street running. There was a bridge over Sugartown Road in Strafford* which connected to the next-to-last station, and another, longer bridge over Lancaster Ave. (Route 30). From there the line curved up to a terminus parallel to the PRR. (*) rather than "Stratford".

What is the language you are speaking? I'll try to get an interpreter.
The closed captioning is just BIZARRE. One of the phrases said "sudden pervert".
I'm goin' somewhere else.
