All Aboard Ohio Meeting and Family Outing on the CVSR

IT LCCA Intern, Nathan Harris and LCCA Administrative Coordinator, Virginia Haynes, Onboard a former Maryland Rail Commuter (MARC) coach, owned by the Akron Metro RTA
On July 24, All Aboard Ohio held its Summer Meeting and Family Outing on the CVSR. Some boarded at Brecksville, while the rest got on at Akron. Everyone was very impressed with their professionalism, volunteerism and customer service. The quality of the rail service is very good, especially north of Akron, where speeds have been raised from 15-25 mph to up to 40 mph in many places. The second-hand (or third-hand) train coaches are in pretty good condition and ride well. The air conditioning was working consistently in all cars, especially on a humid, 90-degree day. The tracks are upgraded, grade crossing gates/flashers are all new, there are many new/rebuilt bridges along the route and the stations are nicely done and well maintained. It shows the benefit of $35 million (mostly from the federal government) worth of infrastructure over the past decade! The food and merchandise offerings in the train cafe cars are great, plus their amenities -- audio/headset tour & route info, Bike Aboard and park ranger programs make passengers feel welcome and engaged.
