Choo choo! Are you ready to take a trip on one of the oldest, longest, and most scenic excursion railways in the country? Great, because the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad is about to depart, and there is a ticket waiting just for you!
For over 100 years, trains have been moving through the scenic wonders of what is now Cuyahoga Valley National Park and today YOU can be part of that history!
Back in 1880, the Cuyahoga Valley Railway began as a way to transport coal from the Tuscarawas River Valley to Cleveland, Akron, and Canton.
After about 10 years, the Valley Railway became part of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and in the 1900s, competition from automobiles and other modes of transport saw a decline in both freight and passenger service. But then, interest in the line was renewed in 1972 as a scenic excursion route!
This scenic excursion is a really unique way to experience all the natural wonder Cuyahoga Valley National Park has to offer, allowing you to just sit back and relax as this historic train weaves through the Cuyahoga Valley and races along with the energetic Cuyahoga River.
There are a number of stops on the route that you can jump on or off, and its this route that provides passengers the opportunity to possibly spot a host of amazing wildlife that is all around you, from eagles, deer, beavers, and herons all in their natural habitat!
It's worth noting that Rockside and Akron Northside are the primary stations.
So are you ready to enjoy this unique and history way of exploring Ohio's only national park? All aboard, we're ready!
