Pennsylvania - Bucksgahuda and Western Railroad

St. Mary's, PA - "The B&W" is the Bucksgahuda and Western Railroad (pronounced Bucks-gah-hue-dah), a two foot gage railroad museum located in St. Marys, Pennsylvania. We preserve and operate industrial railroad equipment as was once commonly used in coal mines, brickyards, etc. The railroad is a member of the Two Foot Gage Owners Association, is affiliated with the Bucktail Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, and is a non-profit corporation.

We preserve and demonstrate the story of industrial railroads. At one time, before forklifts and conveyors were invented, trains of this size were the backbone of many industries, including sawmills, coal mines, brickworks, and construction sites. Read on to find out the history of our railroad, the background of our cars and locomotives, and even why Bucksgahuda is the place where "The Geese Wear Pants."
