Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Train Yard — Attraction in Independence

Well we had 4 grand kids birthdays this week and figured the train ride would be nice.We got their an hour early and looked around. Boarding time was 3:00 and the train got their close to 4:00.

I said we just paid over 120.00 in tickets so he said it doesn't guarantee yo a seat. LOL! Their around 1 or 2 here or their.

We was hoping it would be exciting for him instead it was full of anxiety...very upsetting and...

I am writing entirely from a cyclists point of view here. The 3 dollars is an amazing deal when you want to ride and not worry about turning around. I have rode the train twice this past weekend. The first I got on at botzum and rode back to Akron at I think it was 10:10 am, not that crouded and the staff is freindly. The next day I boarded at station road bridge and rode back to Akron. The train was very busy but really when your payin 3 bucks you will take what you get. My advice get on the train at the first 2 stops to guarantee your seat. The food on the train is very reasonably priced. All in all an amazing...
