A couple of notes...
I would guesstimate that there are about 25 trains a day that go by Philly on the High Line or the old B&O line on the east bank of the river. When Oil was at it's peak I'd say that was more like 35. It is a North-South route for CSX between New York and Baltimore.
The High Line is incredibly old (113 years to be exact) but is really needed as an alternate route through the city. Otherwise a log jam would form. So you really can't route everything over the High Line and you can't route everything down the B&O line along the river.
