The Ohio River Scenic Railway operates on the Hoosier Southern railroad ("HSRR"). The HSRR is 22 miles long and runs between Lincoln City, IN and Cannelton, IN. Our trains and events are based out of the Southern-most depot on the line, located in Tell City, IN. Plans exist to develop stations in Lincoln City, IN and Santa Claus, IN to allow for more boarding options along the line. Currently, our trips departing Tell City will only travel up to 10 miles round trip, while our trips departing Lincoln City can travel up to 28 miles round tri
Train rides vary significantly in length. Some train rides will operate as frequent shuttles for special events while others will traverse large portions of the line. Typically, the duration of a train trip can range from 45 minutes (shuttle) to 4+ hours (scenic tour) round trip.
Special event rides in 2022 include the Shamrock Express, Easter Bunny Express, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Outlaw Rides and many other themes! Check their event calendar out at ohiorivertrain.com/tickets.
This service is a cooperative effort hosted by the Scenic Lincoln Way, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and STEM Rail, LLC, a railroad company based out of Indianapolis, IN.
