The Wawa and Concordville Railroad (W&C) was a steam tourist and recreational railroad in the US state of Pennsylvania during the late 1960s. Although it has been defunct since 1968, it continues to have a lasting effect on the people who rode it, even today.
Continued popularity is due to its heavy promotion during its existence, and being only about 20 miles (32 km) west of Philadelphia, it was located near a busy urban setting. The Wawa and Concordville never lacked patronage during its short life and had a large base to draw from.
