In 1856 the company suffered its first accidient in the The Great Train Wreck of 1856.

In 1857 an extension was built to Doylestown, Pennsylvania and during the 1860's another extension was built to Sellersville, Pennsylvania, running parallel to Bethlehem Pike.

The Reading Company leased North Pennsylvania Railroad on May 14, 1879 which later led to the eventual demise of NPR due to the bankruptcy of the Reading Company and subsequent merger into Conrail.
