== History ==
Trains have run in the [[Cuyahoga Valley National ParkRiver|Cuyahoga Valley]] since the 1880s. In 1880, the [[Valley Railway]] began operations, transporting coal to [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]], [[Akron, Ohio|Akron]], and [[Canton, Ohio|Canton]] from the [[Tuscarawas River]] Valley and providing passenger service along the way. After a decade of operation, the Valley Railway became part of the [[Baltimore & Ohio Railroad]]. In the 20th century, competition from automobiles, trucks, and buses caused the decline of both freight and passenger service.
 
Right-of-way ownership shifted over the years from Valley Railway to the [[Valley Railway|Cleveland Terminal & Valley Railway]] (CT&V), to the [[Baltimore and Ohio Railroad]], to the [[Chessie System]].
