Ever since the Cuyahoga Valley’s first steam engine passed down the Valley Railway back in 1880, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad has been an impressive fixture in the community. Though it once helped to transport coal, produce, and manufactured goods from Canton to Cleveland, the railroad is now a popular tourist attraction that’s full of fascinating history.

The National Park Service maintains this educational attraction, and it is a part of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Visitors can ride the excursion train through the 33,000 acres of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, where you’ll see incredible views of meadowland, lush trees, small towns, and even a working 19th century farm.

To plan a visit or purchase tickets for a train ride, visit the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad’s informative website. The website also includes a calendar detailing upcoming events on the railroad, including "Breakfast Along the Cuyahoga" and combination tours of Hale Farm and the railroad.
