    According to Wikipedia,
    The Oil Creek and Titusville operates over tracks that were originally built as the
    main line
    of the
    Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia Railroad
    in the 1880s; trackage in
    Titusville
    was originally owned by the
    Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad
    .
    The Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia was reorganized in 1887 into the
    Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad
    , which was eventually acquired by the
    Pennsylvania Railroad
    in 1900. The Pennsylvania was merged with the
    New York Central Railroad
    in 1968 and became
    Penn Central
    . In 1976, Penn Central went bankrupt, along with several other railroads, and was combined into
    Conrail
    .
    In 1986, the line was acquired from Conrail by the Oil Creek Railway Historical Society, with the first tourist trains running on July 18; freight operations began on September 25, 1986.
