Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, an organization which operates an excursion train through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park in cooperation with the National Park Service, announces the first train in America to significantly enhance passenger experiences on its scenic tour routes. Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad provides passengers with scenic touring experiences on a historic railway between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio, passing through the river floodplains, steep cut valley walls and serene forests of Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the quaint towns and villages in between.

 As part of its goal to preserve the significant cultural and natural resources in the Cuyahoga Valley, Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and the National Parks Service are providing better railway tours for passengers by introducing advanced GPS audio tour systems on its excursion tours. Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, utilizing satellite (GPS) technology, is telling compelling location-based stories to connect passengers to the people who have called this valley home and to the places and events that have shaped Cuyahoga Valley’s natural and environmental history.   

Providing fun, entertaining, and educational audio tours on its excursion train, passengers using small wireless receivers and headsets are provided with more meaningful and memorable scenic rail sightseeing tours. GPS Audio Tour systems are installed in each train car. Tour commentaries are triggered by GPS waypoints at precisely the right moment, regardless of whether passengers are located in the front or back of the train.
