Our Story

For more than 100 years, trains have been moving through the scenic wonders of what is now Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

In 1989, a mutually beneficial partnership began for Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and the National Park and it has brought a proud distinction to each. There is no other national park in the country with a non-profit heritage railroad operating within it and providing educational and entertainment programs to enhance the accessibility of the park for tens of thousands of people each year.

The National Park Staff continue to deliver educational programming for riders of all ages and maintain the railroad tracks to ensure safety of all riders.
