Every December, trains circle our trees and fill our stories with wonder. But outside the glow of the season, they vanish from daily life. What do our holiday traditions reveal about longing, connection, and the future of passenger rail in Ohio?

Thanks to members like you, All Aboard Ohio is entering the coming year with strong momentum for corridor development, education, and statewide advocacy. Here’s a sneak peak into what comes next!

Make a huge impact on our 2026 initiatives by donating to our $5,000 goal this Giving Tuesday 12/2. In 2025 we accomplished a lot, track what we did by month, thanks to donor impact and passenger rail advocates in Ohio.

Midwest passenger trains are selling out more often and ridership is climbing in the region. In Ohio this is a sign of future success but lack of new trains may constrain abilities to grow.
