Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad

HistoryIn 1982, two groups were planning to purchase the track - 13.5 miles of double ribbons of rusty rail; not good enough for ConRail to use, and buried beneath the brush and fallen trees. These two groups came together in 1983, to form the Oil Creek Railway Historical Society and purchased the track, buildings and real estate on June 6, 1986. July 18, 1986, saw the inaugural excursion of the OC&T train, utilizing cars leased from several railway historical societies, individuals and museums. That first year saw over 33,950 passengers! During the first winter, seven coaches were purchased and reconditioned.SpecialtiesTourist Train Ride: Your 3-hour round trip will take you to where oil history began.
