Wellsboro and Corning Railroad

The Wellsboro and Corning Railroad is a shortline railroad that operates between Wellsboro, Pennsylvania and Corning, New York, passing through Tioga, and Lawrenceville. It parallels PA Route 287 and U.S. Route 15, following the valleys of Marsh Creek, Crooked Creek, and the Tioga River. The railroad connects with Norfolk Southern Railway's Southern Tier Line at Corning.
The line was formerly part of the New York Central Railroad system, and was bought from Conrail by Growth Resources of Wellsboro in 1992. The WCOR began operations in 1993, and was controlled by Richard Robey, owner of the North Shore Railroad System, until January 2008, when Myles Group of Exton, Pennsylvania bought the company.〔Gayle Morrow, Wellsboro Gazette, (Wellsboro & Corning on the right track ), January 11, 2008〕 The Tioga Central Railroad operates tourist trains over the line between Wellsboro and Tioga.
==History==
Most of the WCOR was once part of a main line from the New York Central Railroad's (NYC) Water Level Route at Lyons south to Williamsport. The Tioga Coal, Iron Mining and Manufacturing Company opened the portion from Corning south to the state line at Lawrenceville in 1840, and in 1872 the Wellsboro and Lawrenceville Railroad completed an extension through Wellsboro to Antrim. (The main line, finished in 1883 by the Jersey Shore, Pine Creek and Buffalo Railway, branched off north of Wellsboro.) NYC leased the lines in 1899, and in 1914 absorbed successor Geneva, Corning and Southern Railroad.〔Interstate Commerce Commission, 27 Val. Rep. 1 (1929): (Valuation Docket No. 1022, The New York Central Railroad Company and its Leased Lines )〕〔Edward A. Lewis, American Shortline Railway Guide, 5th Edition, Kalmbach Publishing, 1996, pp. 329-330, 361〕
Conrail retained the line when it began operations in 1976, but later abandoned it south of Wellsboro Junction, through Pine Creek Gorge (also known as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania), turning the line into a minor branch. Growth Resources of Wellsboro bought the line in December 1992,〔 and the WCOR began operating in January 1993.〔Railroad Retirement Board, (Employer Status Determination: Wellsboro & Corning Railroad Company ), 1993〕 The Tioga Central Railroad, which had operated freight in Tioga County, New York until May 1992 (when the Owego & Harford Railway took over),〔 began operating tourist trains in May 1994.〔Railroad Retirement Board, (Employer Status Determination: Tioga Central Railroad, Inc. ), October 30, 2002〕
