Speeder Rides
Get Ready for a Unique Adventure – Speeder Rides Fundraiser!
Looking for an unforgettable way to experience the beauty of Oil Creek Valley? Don’t miss this chance to ride a vintage repair track car during our Speeder Rides Fundraiser! This special event is hosted by a dedicated group of volunteer owner/operators who generously provide these unique rides to support the Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad. This event is for ages 12 and over only.
Event Highlights:
- Vintage Speeder Cars: Experience the thrill of riding in an authentic track repair car, also known as a speeder. These cars were once used by railroad workers to inspect and maintain the tracks – now they are your ticket to an exciting summertime journey.
- 3-hour Ride: Enjoy a leisurely 3-hour ride through scenic Oil Creek Valley surrounded by the lush beauty of Oil Creek State Park.
- Seating Details: Speeder car seating varies by vehicle and can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 6 passengers. Please note that seating assignments are determined on the day of the event by the operators and we cannot guarantee that your entire party will ride in the same car.
- Fundraiser for a Great Cause: All proceeds from the Speeder Rides benefit the Oil Creek & Titusville Railroad, helping to preserve this historic railway and continue its legacy of connecting the community to the region’s rich history.
Please Note: As this is a Special Event, there will be no Oil Boom history given during the ride.
