The Allegheny Valley Railroad, later a branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, reached Emlenton in 1867. Local merchants soon availed themselves of the freight services bringing goods from all parts of the country. Daily merchandise trains brought food, equipment, and tools to the energetic little town. Passenger trains served visitors, shoppers, and commercial travelers, as well as high school students commuting from nearby settlements. Hotels had "sample rooms" devoted to the traveling salesman for displaying their wares.
