All aboard for a scenic trip from Cincinnati to Perfect North Slopes and back with the Ohio Rail Experience!

If you’re looking for a perfect Fall activity that checks all the boxes? (relaxing, scenic, and fun for all!) – don’t miss this this once-a-year opportunity to enjoy a lovely two-hour train ride with the historic Ohio Rail Experience (ORE).

This route was originally built for the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, also known as the Big Four Railroad.

These train trips are a unique opportunity to experience the golden age of rail in a casual, family friendly atmosphere. Passengers ride in vintage railcars pulled by a historic diesel electric locomotive. ORE trains have open window coaches from the 1930s. Climate controlled deluxe coaches from the 1940s and ‘50s are also available.

Just like in the past, full concessions are available, with a wide array of options for purchase in the Queen City Tavern car.

ORE is a part of Cincinnati Scenic Railway (CSR), a nonprofit organization that operates the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad. ORE excursions are operated in partnership with local historical societies, the Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad, and the Cincinnati Railway Company.

This route was originally built for the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway, also known as the Big Four Railroad. In 1906, the Big Four was acquired by the New York Central Railroad, which operated it as a separate entity until around 1930. The Big Four's lines were later incorporated into Penn Central in 1968 with the merger of New York Central and the Pennsylvania Railroad. Penn Central declared bankruptcy in 1970, and in 1976 many of Big Four's lines were included in the government-sponsored Conrail.
