The Southern Railroad trail occupies part of the former bed of the Harrisville Southern Railroad. The short line railroad was built to link Harrisville to the B&O line at Cornwallis, a total distance of 6 miles. The line operated between 1915 and 1929 but folded due to competition from road transport. Today, 0.8 miles of that is a hiking trail within the North Bend State Park, running between the River Run Campground and Jughandle Day Use Area.
