"We've Been Working on the Railroad"
The Byesville Scenic
Railway is rebuilding the railroad between Derwent and Cumberland, Ohio. When
completed, our excursion train will operate a total of 26 round-trip miles
between Byesville and Cumberland.
It will take some time before we reach our ultimate destination of Cumberland.
We will likely progress towards Cumberland in two or three mile increments.
Recently we have been working to extend the route of our excursion train one
mile beyond Derwent to the State Route 821 crossing just north of Pleasant City,
OH. We hope to be operating on this section of track this year. This will be the
first time trains have operated over this track since 1993.
