As our elves at the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad dust off their jingle bells and light up the decorations, we take time to reflect on what makes holiday memories truly special: taking care of those around us. We’ve partnered with the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to help feed those who need it most in Northeast Ohio. For every North Pole Adventure™ ticket purchased through December 22, $5 will be donated to the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, ensuring more local families can gather for a meal this holiday season. Seats are selling fast, but we’ve opened more seats and select dates are STILL AVAILABLE! Thank you for helping us bring more cheer to the community this holiday season! #CVSR #LetsRideCVSR #CuyahogaValleyScenicRailroad #NorthPoleAdventure2025 #GreaterClevelandFoodBank

Last Friday, we were honored to welcome the team from J.C. Newman Cigar Co. aboard our Open Air Car & Cigar Lounge Experience! Their visit brought a special touch of cigar history and craftsmanship to the rails. Founded in 1895 right here in Cleveland, J.C. Newman is America’s oldest family-owned premium cigar maker. Now headquartered in Tampa, Florida, the company remains committed to its roots and its legacy of excellence—crafting cigars by hand and preserving the artistry of the tradition across four generations. Their visit to CVSR was not just a meeting of minds—it was a celebration of timeless craftsmanship, heritage, and community. To the Newman team: thank you for riding with us and sharing your incredible story. We look forward to more unforgettable moments like these.
