  ******   The NEXT public train runs are  June 23 & 24, 2018 during Rail Festival.  Train rides are FREE thanks to two anonymous donors.  See the extended operating hours below for these two run days.  Park admission or Dayton History membership is required separately. 

   All funds from ticket sales and donations are used to buy fuel, maintain the locomotives, cars, track, grounds, maintenance equipment, and train facilities.  The entire railroad is maintained and operated by the all-volunteer members of the Carillon Park Rail and Steam Society (CPR&SS) club which is a separate entity from the Dayton Historical Park.  With your support, through ticket sales and donations, we can continue providing train rides.  Thank you !
