The inaugural excursion came in July of that year.The railway travels through the Oil Creek State Park on its journey over 13.5 miles (21.7 km) of track. It hauls over 1,000 carloads of freight and 500,000 passengers each year.
Stations
There are four stations along the line that have been used off and on to present day. They include Perry Street Station, Petroleum Center, Rynd farm Station, and Drake Well station. It has seven passenger cars converted from powered units and an open air car. It has three operating locomotives: M420 3568, S2 85 and S2 75 (the Atlas 50T 00 is not used).
