Put Down Your Rake and Hit the Trail!

All Aboard...
...for a leisurely look at the trail, take a ride on an old time passenger train. Board the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway for a train track trek in Southeastern Ohio (http://www.hvsr.com/ ). The Hocking Valley Scenic Railway is today's reincarnation of the original Hocking Valley Railway, formed by the Nelsonville, Haydenville and Logan lines. Since 1972, members of the volunteer organization have rebuilt and restored historic steam and diesel locomotives for our riding pleasure.

Another train, a different valley... In northern Ohio, you can enjoy a scenic ride through the Cuyahoga Valley on another Scenic Railroad. Visit http://www.dayinthevalley.com to find out what's going on in our own National Park, and where to hop the train. A wine-tasting train rolls through on November 9th...(hey, wait for me!!!) for reservations or more information, call 800-468-4070 or go to http://www.cvsr.com/
