They aren't outliers, they are the norm. Many of the them were freight lines for shipping materials such as coal or iron ore for industry that no longer exists in Pennsylvania. Or as transportation between population centers that no longer have the population to warrant a rail line.
The Pine Creek trail freight line from Wellsboro to Williamsport
The D&H trail which goes from Nowhereseville to Bumfuck
East Branch Trail connecting the bustling metropolis of Corry with the oil boom town of Titusville. Yeah, I'm sure the demand is there for a light rail. How much would you like to invest in that venture?

I do agree with you pov on unwarranted transit line. There is currently a proposal to establish a line between Allentown and NYC as well as one from Scranton to NYC and yet they both appear dead in the water at this point in time.
