Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad

Regular Season

All Aboard!
Tickets, please.

Enjoy a relaxing 3-hour train ride through beautiful Oil Creek Valley where oil history began!

The Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad offers a unique and nostalgic experience through the heart of Pennsylvania’s oil country. This 27-mile round trip departs from the historic Perry Street Station in Titusville and follows the route of early oil development at a comfortable, unhurried pace. Along the way, you’ll experience the sights and sounds of classic rail travel while passing through Oil Creek State Park’s wooded areas, creekside views, and historic locations tied to the region’s past.

Passengers will learn about the people and places of the first Oil Boom in the United States while sharing the fun of train travel with the whole family. Wildlife sightings are common and may include groundhogs, deer, ducks, blue heron, bald eagles, and occasionally even a black bear. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
