The 22-mile round trip to Logan, Ohio and back are leisure rides along the Hocking River and Appalachian foothills providing great family-friendly entertainment. Choose to ride in either the 1920’s commuter coaches or open air cars. There’s even first-class service in a restored B&O coach complete with air-conditioning. The most used engine is a diesel locomotive built in 1952. The interesting history of the area and railway are highlighted by the conductor’s narrative and visuals of canal locks, industrial remains, rolling hills of natural fall splendor and other landmarks. Southeast Ohio is known for its natural beauty so imagine it saturated in fall color.

During the trips, passengers have an opportunity to step off the train and back into time at Robbins Crossing. Instantly, cooking from the nearby wood stove floats an inviting aroma passed your nose. Clanking and clamoring rings out from the fully-operational blacksmith shop. Ladies in period-dress are busy candle making and spinning yarn. Folks gather on porches for some good ole Appalachian-style music dancing off instruments of Yesteryear. The leisurely visit may be commemorated with a unique purchase at the general store.
