Very disappointed. Was not worth what was charged. Would not recommend. Plain ride straight north into the country a few miles then stop. Put in reverse and back to station with no scenery other than some trees and people's yards.

Took an excellent Fall Foliage ride! Everyone was nice, the train station was neat, the train was historic and the atmosphere was peaceful! I would recommend taking a ride when you can!

Lorain & West Virginia Railway - Pumpkin Train ReviewThis past weekend, I embarked on my first journey aboard the L&WV Railway Pumpkin Train with my two daughters. The trip certainly had its moments of joy, especially at the pumpkin patch which boasts a wonderful selection that made our outing worthwhile.However, there were a few aspects that left us wanting more. The seating was quite uncomfortable, and the organization seemed a bit lacking as everyone was packed into one car, leaving the other entirely vacant. With over 10 infants and toddlers aboard, the constant crying became overwhelming during the hour and a half trip. Additionally, there was an evident lack of air circulation which caused the windows to fog up, diminishing our chance to enjoy the fall foliage views.All in all, if it weren't for the delightful pumpkin patch, I might have been more disappointed. Would consider returning, but hoping for some improvements on the train ride itself.

Pleasant. Relaxing ride with my husband with neither of us focusing on driving. Staff was nice. We went October 7 and nature just wasn’t ready to really change colors yet, not anyone’s fault. The ride takes you 45 minutes in one direction the stops and returns on the same line. Our train car wasn’t full so we rode one way on the left and then switched sides on the way back.

Train was in poor condition - there was an actual hole in the floor that blocked off. Train only went 10mph.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Fall Foliage train ride with L&WVR. The attendant knew a lot about trains and seemingly the entire background on this restoration endeavor and area railways. He should’ve been given a microphone to share that info with the entire car. Completely run by volunteers, so give them a thank you upon departure. This ride lasted a bit over an hour and was memorable and interesting as we chugged along the rails and through the wooded countryside and past cornfields. They offer a variety of tours including wine tasting and Santa trains. I imagine the scenery to be as spectacular in winter after a snowfall! Try it! I think anyone would enjoy experiencing a train ride. There are steps up into the depot so no handicap accommodations available. Porta potties on site.

1st visit for us. Beautiful fall colors everywhere you looked and there was a blue grass band playing for the 1st time that was wonderful. The kids on the train loved it also

It was a nice ride, we had a guy that told us a little about the rail, and some of the old rail cars that were along the track. He also was telling us the hopes of future expansion for them.
