Dwight,
In fact even the Ohio Central has fallen on hard times (for their passenger
service) do to  insurance costs skyrocketing after 9/11/2001. They are,
however, a very viable freight carrier today. They used to run daily
passenger service, but now, run only a few trips per year.

Cuyahoga Valley is blessed with active partners such as the National Park
Service, Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, Akron Metro Transit
Authority, Stark Area Regional Transit Authority, CSX Railroad, Wheeling &
Lake Erie Railroad, and many corporations and individuals throughout the
area who want our railroad to succeed.
