Northern Subdivision (Pennsylvania)

The P&W runs from the southeast to the northwest of Pittsburgh by way of Rankin to West Pittsburg near New Castle, while the Northern heads northeast towards Butler.

From Harmony Junction, the line (operated by the B&P) runs along the scenic Connoquenessing Creek past Buhl's Station and Renfrew, Pennsylvania.

Just past Renfrew, the B&P runs parallel with the Canadian National Railway (originally the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad) into Butler.

The mainline continues east towards Punxsutawney, while a branch (original Northern Subdivision) heads north towards Petrolia.

The official end of the line is in Petrolia, but an abandoned section of track continues on to Bruin.

The Northern continued northeast of Foxburg, passing through the communities of St. Petersburg, Turkey City, and Knox.

The K&K ran the train to the park for another year, but service was ultimately cut, due to the loss of riders wanting to go over the bridge.

Later that year, the Knox and Kane was sold at auction, but the stretch of rails operated by the K&K were left in place.

In the spring of 2010, the Kovalchick Corporation began the long process of removing the rail crossings along state roads between Clarion and McKean counties.
