Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad

Regular Season

All Aboard!
Tickets, please.

Enjoy a relaxing 3-hour train ride through Oil Creek Valley. Your 3-hour round trip will take you through scenic Oil Creek State Park, to where oil history began.

The Oil Creek and Titusville Railroad offers a unique and nostalgic journey through the heart of Pennsylvania’s oil country. This scenic three-hour excursion takes passengers on a leisurely 27-mile round trip from the historic Perry Street Station in Titusville. As the train chugs along at a relaxed pace, passengers can enjoy breathtaking views of the Oil Creek Valley, including lush green forests, rolling hills, and sparkling waterways. The ride itself is a step back in time, with the opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of a bygone era.

You’ll learn about the people and places of the first Oil Boom in the USA. Share the fun of train travel and relive history with the whole family! See a variety of wildlife from groundhogs to bald eagles, with ducks, deer, and blue heron, as well as the occasional black bear. We look forward to seeing you soon!
