WWII train comes to Cuyahoga Valley

During World War II, the BIG train engines used to transport troops and war materials within the United States were the Berkshire models. These were manufactured by Lima Locomotive Works in Lima, Ohio, just a stones throw from the Lima tank plant where the M4 Shermans were being built.

During the month of September, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad will be pulling a variety of routs with some special steam engines including a 1944 Berkshire. What a great opportunity to see a rare piece of equipment used during the War.

Information on rides can be found at www.cvsr.com/steam-in-the-valley.aspx and there are many good spots along the route to take photos and video as the train passes by.
