Current train traffic along the trail is operated by Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad on the former Conrail Southwest Secondary Branch, which runs from behind Greengate Mall to Connellsville. They operate 2 to 4 trains a day with 6-10 cars each; these trains shouldn’t run faster than 10mph. Before Conrail took it over, the line was operated by the Pennsylvania RR.
A Railroad Museum at Youngwood in December 2024 was open 11 to 8 on Fridays. Since the place is staffed by volunteer it would be best to check. 724-925-7355
Youngwood was the north terminus for the Laurel Highland Railroad’s “Highlander”, a scenic passenger train, which no longer operates..
