jcgoble3 Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Great article! Thank you so much for posting this; it and all the other historical stuff posted over the past six months really helps pass the time in the offseason. Just make sure you've saved some stuff for next offseason! Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 Standbyme, you always post the coolest KI history on here. This is no different--thank you for sharing! I love this! 1 Quote
TromaKing Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 This was a really cool article. I think it would be really cool to see an compare and contrast as to the maintenance of when the article was written and now. One would hope that as much pride was taken on the trains as once was, however based on how the scenery has been neglected over the years I wonder if the detail on the trains has been as well. 1 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 It always cool that they recognize the railroad because without it, the park would not have its same charm. 1 Quote
Voicetek Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Great article! I love how in some of the pictures you can see the old town scenery along with some of the old animatronic people in the towns. Brings back memories. Thanks! 1 Quote

SonofBaconator Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Wow, what a major bump. I love that article. When I see this stuff, I really start to hate the placement of Diamondback. The Railroad is the only original attraction from Rivertown and even though I'm a train freak, I would like to see the railway spruced up. 2 Quote

I would to, maybe Cedar Fair will bring them back since CP&LERR has animatronics 1 Quote
Tr0y Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I would love to get a chance to be able to tour the round house, and see the morning routine of firing up the steam engine. 1 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 @Tr0y, in the meantime, you can watch this! 2 Quote

This is a May 1980 magazine article about the behind the scenes of The Kings Island & Miami Valley Railroad. I am going to string this out over a few days because there is so much to read...and because I can! I hope you enjoy it. Where online did you find this magazine? Quote
