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 Owego, 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.
