To all of our passengers,
We regret to inform you that we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming coming weekend of trips on 6/28 & 6/29. Another prolonged period of high temperatures are predicted for this weekend. The high temperatures, combined with extreme humidity levels could potentially expose our passengers to an unsafe situation. The safety of all passengers and staff is our top priority.
As of this time, we are planning to reschedule this weekend’s rides to October 4th & 5th. All passengers who have purchased tickets will be offered a voucher valid through 2026.
Again, we apologize for any inconvenience, but we feel this is the safest course of action to take.
Sincerely,
The Ohio Rail Experience
June 28, 2025 - “Return to the Big Four”
Come along for a scenic trip from Cincinnati,OH to Greenburg,IN and return. 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. Along the way we will travel through the towns of Cleves, Morris, and Batesville. While in Greensburg, passengers will be allowed to disembark the train for a 2 hour layover. Limited dining options are available within walking distance in Greensburg. . We will have full concessions with a wide array of options available for purchase in our Queen City Tavern car.
