The Ultimate Backyard Bash – Chill N’ Grill!

Fire up the fun and crack open a cold one—Chill N’ Grill is rolling into town! Departing Rockside Depot at 6:30 PM on June 13, this two-hour train ride is the ultimate backyard barbecue… but on wheels! We’re talking ice-cold brews, smoky grilled favorites, and nonstop entertainment hotter than the coals on a summer night.

Sip and sample your way through a beer tasting, put your backyard trivia skills to the test, or keep your detective instincts sharp as a sizzling murder mystery unfolds—because nothing spices up a BBQ like a little whodunit! Whether you’re here for the hops, the grill marks, or the thrill of the mystery, this laid-back yet lively ride promises a well-done night of good eats, great drinks, and even better company. Choose from one of the four adventures.

 

All American Pig Out

Get ready to feast on flavor. This mouthwatering event features slow-smoked, stick-to-your-ribs eats prepared by none other than The Proper Pig Smokehouse—proudly named the area’s Best BBQ and Food Truck by Cleveland Scene. From backyard favorites and all the fixins, this is a carnivore’s dream on rails. Grab a seat, roll up your sleeves, and dig into a true BBQ experience as we roll through the scenic Cuyahoga Valley. Come hungry—this ride is all about bold flavors, smoky goodness, and All-American indulgence!

 

Ales on Rails: Backyard Brew 

Pair your favorite backyard BBQ appetizers with a curated selection of craft beers from local favorite Collision Bend Brewery. Sip, sample, and savor a lineup of brews that celebrate bold flavors and small-batch craftsmanship—all while kicking back with great company and scenic views. Whether you’re a seasoned beer enthusiast or just in it for the chill vibes, this is your ticket to a perfect blend of good food, great beer, and unforgettable fun on the rails.

 

Trivia: Who’s On First?

Gather your team, rep your favorite jersey, and test your knowledge across all major sports—from baseball classics to modern-day legends. Go head-to-head with fellow fans in a fast-paced, fun-filled trivia showdown. Bragging rights are on the line—do you have what it takes to take the title?
