The Chippewa Valley Railroad (CVRR) is an historic 1880 mini steam locomotive with coaches that offers fun rides around a forested park.

Pulled by coal-fired steam locomotives and a diesel engine, the mini train is made up wooden 1880-style passenger coaches, a gondola car, and a caboose.

The quarter-size working railroad includes a depot, a roundtable, a passenger waiting canopy, a turntable, a switchyard, and the oldest interlocking tower in the state, all of which visitors can experience on their ride around the park.

The vintage train station has suspender-clad conductors wearing pin-striped engineer's hats to complete the experience.
