Scenic Railway was a four-tracked wooden roller coaster previously located at Euclid Beach Park in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. The ride had a four-towered loading station adorned with hundreds of lightbulbs.

History

In 1916, the curve around the station's second story level was enclosed.[1]

Scenic Railway opened with three car trains with two brakemen on each. To reduce the crew size in the 1920s, the trains were reduced to two cars each.[1]

The ride was extended in the late 1920s, under the direction of Howard Stoneback.[1]
