Share the fun of train travel and relive our country's oil history as you ride the OC&T "through the valley that changed the world."
The Oil Creek Valley is world-famous for its past and the people that lived it. We take you back more than 150 years into the heart of Oil County in vintage cars built by Pullman in 1930. Our main station, Perry Street Station, is an 1892 vintage freight station located [in Titusville]. Your 3-hour round trip will take you to where oil history began. You'll learn about the people and places that made up Pennsylvania Oil Country. Your family can share the fun of train travel and relive history. See a variety of wildlife from groundhogs to bald eagles, with ducks, deer, and blue heron, as well as the occasional black bear.

Oil Creek & Titusville #827
Originally an express refrigerator car c. 1940, its number refers to the date Edwin L Drake struck oil, August 27, 1859. It had been converted to a flatcar and was being used in the GE locomotive works in Erie, PA, to move locomotive frames around the plant. GE's East Erie Commercial Railroad gave it to us in 1990. We promptly put in a new floor and oak sides. In good weather, up to 100 passengers can be found viewing the beautiful scenery and searching for bald eagles and other wildlife in the Oil Creek State Park from our gondola car.

Oil Creek & Titusville #66
Aug 2017 / RWH
Our Railroad Post Office, or RPO, is the only one currently operating in the United States. Built in 1927, it originally ran on the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad as their #68. It then went to the Bangor & Aroostook as their #570 and in 1989 was donated to us by Andrew Merrilees LTD, a Canadian locomotive rebuilder. When it first arrived in Titusville, it was so rusted you could see straight though it from the outside. Thanks to our volunteers, with a grant from the John Nesbit Rees and Sarah Henne Reese Charitable Foundation, it was beautifully restored.
