The Stewartstown Railroad is a heritage railroad that operates in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania.

Chartered in 1884 by local interests in the Stewartstown area, and opened in 1885, the Stewartstown Railroad survives today in very much original condition, and retains its original corporate charter. Back in service since 2015, the railroad has a crew of volunteers working on operations. Currently, passenger and tourist trains operate out of the Stewartstown Railroad Station, for either Coach rides or Caboose rides, approximately a mile down the line and back. Former Reading Railroad coach 1341 is back in service as of December 2016. As of June 2018, a new Open Air car owned and built by the Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad, Inc. is available for use.

Motorcar rides operate out of the Stewartstown Railroad Station and run the entire length of the 7.4 mile line. Approximately one weekend a month motorcar trains run from Stewartstown to New Freedom, and return.

The Railroad offers holiday specific trains, such as Easter Bunny Trains, Fall Foliage Runs, Halloween Trains, and Santa Trains.

The Shrewsbury Railroad Station, Stewartstown Railroad Station, and Stewartstown Engine House at Stewartstown are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in York County, Pennsylvania. Also listed are the Deer Creek Bridge, Ridge Road Bridge, Stone Arch Road Bridge, and Valley Road Bridge.^[1]^[2]
