Hocking Valley Scenic Railway Historic District
Hocking Valley Scenic Railway Historic District, Railroad historic district in Nelsonville, United States
The Hocking Valley Scenic Railway Historic District features vintage trains operating through the rolling hills and forests of southeastern Ohio.
Established in 1972, this railway system preserves the legacy of the original Mineral Railroad that connected Columbus to Athens from 1870.
The historic district maintains a collection of restored locomotives and wooden coaches that represent Ohio's industrial transportation heritage.
Visitors can board trains at the Nelsonville depot, constructed in 1982, which operates regular excursions and seasonal theme rides throughout the year.
The railway operates one of the few remaining coal-burning steam locomotives in Ohio, a Baldwin-built No. 3 from the former Ohio Power Company.
