    Can you hear it?  It's the clickety clack of the engine
    rolling down the railroad tracks!  The train is headed back to
    CanalWay Center �depot.� 



    Enjoy the free, annual Cleveland Metroparks �Train Day� event on
    Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at CanalWay Center in Ohio
    & Erie Canal Reservation in Cuyahoga Heights, just below the
    massive, 2,000-foot long bridge that carries more than 40 trains a
    day across the valley.



    Experience the sights and sounds of the railroads. 
    Visitors, young and old, can enjoy model train exhibits inside and
    out of CanalWay - featuring G-scale, HO-scale, N-scale, S-scale,
    Legos, and more.  Visit with railroad organizations and
    vendors, take a guided trestle hike, kids can play in the kids
    depot play area with train toys and videos, crafts and face
    painting, listen to a DJ playing railroad and summertime favorites,
    and more!



    Plus, young visitors can enjoy a kid's trackless train ride
    ($1/person). 



    EarthWords Nature Shop is selling unique train items, and there
    are refreshments for sale.  And, the first 1,000 kids will
    receive a free train whistle, too!



    Event-goers can also take a stroll down the Hobo Trail to
    discover what life was like for America'straveling workers,
    discover the hobo code through the hobo signs and strike up a
    conversation with the hobos at their camp.



    CanalWay Center is located on Whittlesey Way, off the East
    49th Street entrance of Ohio & Erie Canal
    Reservation, between Grant Avenue and Canal Road in Cuyahoga
    Heights - just off the I-77/Grant Avenue exit.
