OUR STORY
HISTORY
For over 100 years, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad has provided historic train rides through the breathtaking landscapes of Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio.
Since its partnership with the National Park Service began in 1989, this non-profit heritage railroad has helped make the park more accessible to tens of thousands of visitors each year.
Today, riders of all ages enjoy educational programming, seasonal events, and unforgettable views as they explore one of the nation’s most unique scenic national park experiences. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the only park in the U.S. with a heritage railroad operating within its boundaries.
