From Akron to Peninsula and back. A total of 2 hrs with two 5 minutes stops in between to pick up anyone along the hiking trails. Beautiful view. Not much time to get off the train and do anything but stretch your legs. You can walk throughout the train. From car to car to see the different ones. The food car is at the end.
