The Pittsburgh and Susquehanna Railroad operated a 17 mile railroad between Philipsburg and Fernwood, Pennsylvania, with a 2 mile branch to Beaver Run. The line was originally built starting in 1892 and the property was reorganized under the Pittsburgh and Susquehanna name in March 1910, providing freight and passenger service in central Pennsylvania through several changes of ownership before it ceased operations in 1931 and was formally abandoned in 1936.
