CPR & SS: Carillon Park Rail & Steam Society, Inc.
Carillon Park Rail & Steam Society, Inc. is an independent, all-volunteer, not for profit, Ohio corporation dedicated to the preservation and education of the rail and steam heritage of the Miami Valley area of Ohio. In addition the Society also promotes the hobby of large scale, live steam railroading.
In co-operation with Dayton History’s Carillon Historical Park Museum and to support the Museum’s education mission, CPR&SS has built and operates the 1/8th scale Carillon Park Railroad as a working, interactive exhibit of the Museum. Our goal is to complement the Museum’s fine collection of historical railroad, inter-urban & trolley equipment and helps bring these magnificent static displays to life.
The Carillon Historical Park (CHP) Museum is one of the “Dayton History” families of non-profit, privately owned and endowed history resources. This beautiful open-air museum presents exhibits on items of industrial and cultural significance to Dayton, Ohio and the surrounding area. The Museum is open to the public. A daily admission fee is charged. Annual Memberships are also available.
The Carillon Park Railroad was built with education by demonstration in mind: a complete operating 1/8th scale railroad with the sights and sounds of the railroad industry from its earliest days to the present. All locomotive types – steam, electric and diesel – are operated on the railroad and serve to both preserve and demonstrate historical technologies.
*Train Rides during standard run days are $1.00, in addition to Carillon Historical Park admission*
