Hocking Valley Scenic Railway is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven working railroad based in Nelsonville, Ohio. Our mission is to preserve, restore, and actively operate historic locomotives and passenger equipment so future generations can experience railroading as it was meant to be — moving.This is not a static display behind glass. It is a living, breathing railroad powered by dedicated volunteers, skilled craftspeople, and railfans who step forward to learn, work, and keep the line alive. Here, rail enthusiasts don’t just watch history — they help operate it.Every purchase from our store directly supports restoration projects, equipment maintenance, educational outreach, and day-to-day operations that keep trains running on real track.Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us preserve the legacy of American railroading.
