250 Buckeye Train

All trains will run rain or shine. The Buckeye Train is operated by trained professionals on the Ohio Central Railroad, a division of the Genesee & Wyoming Railroad. Safety is a top priority, and all coaches are FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) approved with a qualified mechanic on board. Priority is given to maintaining planned schedules, but the railroad reserves the right to adjust schedules. For this reason, no refunds will be given for late train arrivals. We are also not responsible for passengers missing scheduled departure times. Any passenger missing a departing train will be responsible for their own travel arrangements.

Passengers will be expected to follow all safety rules as written here and announced on the train. Trained Car Hosts will assist passengers in boarding and step boxes will be used for the passengers’ convenience. Because this is a special train with temporary boarding sites, we strongly encourage anyone unable to safely climb up 10 steps or walk extended distances of 500 feet to consider driving to the Transportation Celebration, rather than taking the train.

Due to the historic nature of vintage rail equipment, the trains are not handicapped accessible. Historic and antiquated rail passenger equipment are exempt from ADA regulations under U.S. Code: Title 42: Section 12184. The passenger cars and most boarding facilities used on these excursions were constructed before disability accessibility laws were adopted. Platforms, boarding areas, stairs, step-boxes, seating, and especially doorways, passageways, aisles, and onboard restrooms may not accommodate all passengers. We will make all reasonable efforts to accommodate differently abled passengers who desire to ride the train. Motorized wheelchairs and/or scooters cannot be accommodated onboard any of our trains at any time.
