Hocking Valley Scenic Railway
Description
Founded in 1972, the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway is a non-profit, volunteer-operated organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration and operation of historic railroad equipment for the education and entertainment of the general public.
The route we currently operate over between Nelsonville and Logan was once a part of the original Hocking Valley Railway's Athens Branch. The Hocking Valley was eventually merged into the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway in 1930, with the Athens Branch slowly becoming "dead weight" to the ever-expanding C&O. Thus the HVSR purchased the current route in 1985.
The Hocking Valley Scenic Railway offers diesel-powered rides through the beautiful, rolling hills of Southeastern Ohio aboard vintage equipment. The coaches used were built in 1927 for commuter service around Chicago and the primary diesel locomotive we use was built back in October of 1952. The coaches are heated in the winter, so a comfortable and enjoyable ride is to be had with Santa Claus during our annual Santa trains.
