Remembering... |
"through
the
valley that changed the world"
You'll travel back in time... just by arriving at our home station, an 1892-vintage freight station in Titusville, PA. Our three hour trip will take you to where oil history began. Our tour guides describe the people and places that make up Pennsylvania Oil Country. Your family can share the fun of train travel and relive history.
The Jonathan Watson Car leaving Drake
Well Station
Make reservations NOW!!!
You'll find special attractions... like the open-air car -- weather permitting, you'll have a perfect view of the beautiful northwestern PA landscape. Bring your canoe! Our train will haul you upstream and leave you at Perry Street Station. Bicyclists can ride the 10 mile long bike path through Oil Creek State Park. Bikes can be rented Monday through Friday at Petroleum Centre by calling Oil Creek State Park at (814)676-5915. We'll pick you and your bicycle up at Petroleum Centre, Rynd Farm Station, or Drake Well Station if you want to shorten your trip. See a variety of wildlife from groundhogs to bald eagles, with ducks, deer, and blue heron, as well as the occasional black bear.
Bring your address book. The OC&T RR operates the
only working Railway Post
Office in the United States. You can send a postcard or enjoy a snack
during your ride. Maybe the postmaster will let you postmark your own
card.
We're
handicapped-accessible. All of our stations have floor-level boarding
platforms and wheelchair ramps. Wheelchair-bound riders and their
parties normally ride in the Railway Post Office car, where the view
from the baggage doors is magnificent.
Our Caboose Motel...
opened June, 2005. It's just across the parking lot from our
Perry Street Station at 407 South Perry Street. It
operates independently from the OCTRR. Reservations can be made
at 800-827-0690. The Motel features 21 caboose units and is open
24/7 during our operating
season. Three units are handicapped-accessible.
We're easy to find... and approximately 3 hours from Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. When you
make reservations, our volunteers
will send
you directions, lodging information, and a season update.
Questions
or comments? If so, e-mail us and one of our
"train"ed tour guides will get right back to you.
