Approximately 3 hours from  Pittsburgh arrive at an 1892-vintage freight station in Titusville, PA. The three hour trip will take you to Pennsylvania Oil Country to learn about oil history, people and places while you and family share the fun of train travel and relive history. 

There are also special attractions like the open-air car (weather permitting) where you'll have a perfect view of the beautiful northwestern PA landscape and see a variety of wildlife from groundhogs to bald eagles, with ducks, deer, and blue heron, as well as the occasional black bear.

Into canoeing? Bring your canoe!  The train will haul you upstream and leave you at Perry Street Station, to enjoy a ride on the water back to the 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. You and your bicycle will be picked up at Petroleum Centre, Rynd Farm Station, or Drake Well Station if you want to shorten your trip. 

How about sending Gram a card from the train? 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.

Want to spend the night? The Caboose Motel is the perfect place for railroad buffs. The motel opened June, 2005 and it’s just across the parking lot from the 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.
