HO HO HO! It's getting close to that time of year again! Santa will soon be joining us for the three weekends following Thanksgiving. Come ride the train, and visit with Santa, as we slowly travel through the woods of Southern Lorain County on our 1950s era locomotive and passenger cars. Every child receives a bell from Santa and has time to get their picture taken with Santa. There are many times available and tickets range in price from $5.67 to $25.70. This is the largest fund raiser for our non-profit, 100% volunteer staffed organization and proceeds go towards keeping all of our equipment and track operable. For all the details and to order your ticket please visit https://www.lwvry.org/santa-trains We look forward to seeing you!

Lorain County was an industrial powerhouse and the railroads connected it to the world. Goods and people moved by rail. As our region has changed and manufacturing has faded, its story lives on through groups like ours. History comes alive, past experiences can be relived, and new memories made. The...
