Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad — Modernizing Icons: Why These Historic Trains Are Going Green

The Independence maintenance yard is electrifying history with a $2.1M Ohio EPA grant. By converting 1950s Alco FPA4 locomotives from diesel to battery power, the railroad ensures these vintage cars stay on the tracks for future generations. This upgrade offers cleaner, more reliable travel through the Cuyahoga Valley. Please watch this historic transition!
