The Tioga Central Railroad was a heritage railroad that was formed in 1984 to operate seasonal passenger excursions on former Lehigh Valley Railroad track owned by Tioga County between Oswego, Flemingville, and Newark Valley, N.Y. The operation later relocated to a portion of the Wellsboro and Corning Railroad between Wellsboro, Pennsylvania and Corning, New York. During the tourist season, which lasted from June to October, it operated excursion trains on a sector of this line, from Wellsboro, Pennsylvania to Tioga, Pennsylvania.
Due to covid-19 capacity restrictions the line had suspended passenger operations during 2020 and 2021.[1] In 2022 the railroad was reported to have permanently closed[2] and its website was off-line.
