In the article, following the existing NCR railroad ROW, which the Light Rail currently operates on, is discussed.

Yeah but you turn off into the Ashland development at the trail head instead biking up to the Paper Mill crossing itself. Less scary but still a rough section.

McCormick or Pepper Road stop. Take Wight through the PA Dutch parking lot to Ashland. Ashland still sucks but you avoid a lot of scary York Road.

It did not. That's what the feasibility study is for though. There are some good examples of rail with trail under construction now, such as the green line extension in Somerville, MA that essentially use the maintenance corridor/ROW directly adjacent to the tracks. So it is definitely possible.
I'm sure the NIMBYs in Ruxton will fight anything that is of benefit to them, like a trail, if it is also of benefit to anybody that is not them. That's nothing new. Hopefully the county will have some courage there.
