 Gephart was also involved with the Bellefonte and Clearfield Railroad, incorporated on December 30, 1895 to build from Milesburg to Clearfield.It seems to have been intended to extend the Central RR of PA the short distance along Spring Creek through Bald Eagle Ridge to Milesburg to connect with this new line, which would have provided a PRR-independent route to the coal mines and coke ovens of the Clearfield area.However, no construction was ever begun on the route.
