)
On November 2, 2009 our 2009 passenger service season will come to a close. May 1, 2010 is the official opening day of Toledo, Lake Erie and Western's
2010 passenger service season. Board the Bluebird for a trip back to a more casual time when passenger trains where a primary form of transportation, governing our lives and influencing our priorities. Sit back and enjoy the ride past an original 185 year-old log cabin (built in 1817 and found down stream from Fort Megs). Then past a 100 year-old horse barn as you continue your journey over the last remaining ten miles of track from one of America's most prestigious railroads, The Nickel-Plate Railroad. (The Cloverleaf division of the Nickel-Plate provided rail service from Toledo, Ohio to St. Louis, Missouri between the mid 1800's and the early 1900's.) | |||||||||
