PENINSULA, Ohio — Earlier this month, News 5 reportedon the effects the significant erosion of the Cuyahoga River had on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
While other train rides like the Explorer Program and Fall Flyer were canceled in October due to the erosion, the North Pole Adventure will not be canceled but modified.
On Tuesday, the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad announced the updated departure locations for their signature holiday event.
“We have worked with our staff and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and we have been able to identify a portion of the tracks that are safe and will allow us to run our trains,” said President and CEO Joe Mazur.
The reroute removes the Akron Station as a departure option. All departures will leave from the Rockside Station instead.
“While we know the departure changes may cause inconvenience for some of our passengers, we have redesigned the adventure to ensure it is more magical than ever and delivers more time with Santa,” says Mazur.
Ticket holders who cannot attend the event due to the updated schedule will be eligible for a refund.
