Welcome!

Handsome Lima Mikes! Yellow Fairbanks-Morse Diesels! Daily mixed trains serving picturesque Ohio towns. Twenty-seven interchanges with the NKP, PRR, NYC, Erie, DT&I, C&O, B&O, A&BB. A right-of-way with more than a curve a mile. High bridges. Victorian depots. McKeen Cars. All this was the AC&Y!

The Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad Historical Society was organized in 1992 by a dedicated group of AC&Y enthusiasts. Our interests and goals are to document, preserve and share the AC&Y's history including predecessor and affiliated lines in Northern Ohio.

President's Letter for April

Our presence at Railfest 2009 was an unprecedented success! We not only exceeded expectation on sales with the Company Store, we promoted alot of positive Public Relations. Sales were especially strong with our series of AC&Y decals and AC&Y Station model kits. To read the rest of Robert's letter, please click here.
