Celebration of the LM&M Railroad

LEBANON, Ohio — The LM&M Railroad is excited to announce that Lebanon Train Fest will debut on September 12–13, 2026, featuring two operating steam locomotives—Jeddo Coal Company No. 85 and Little River Railroad No. 1.

The event marks a truly historic occasion, as it is believed to be the first time in more than 100 years that two steam locomotives have operated together in Lebanon. The
weekend celebration also commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the LM&M Railroad, making this year's Train Fest one of the most significant railroad events ever held in Warren County.

Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and excitement of two authentic steam locomotives while enjoying a full weekend of family-friendly
entertainment.

"This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for railfans, families, and history enthusiasts," said a LM&M Railroad President Ray Kammer Jr. "Bringing two historic steam locomotives together in Lebanon while celebrating the LM&M Railroad's 40th anniversary creates an unforgettable experience that honors our community's rich railroad heritage."

In addition to steam-powered train rides and locomotive displays, Lebanon Train Fest will
feature:
• Free children's activities
• Live music throughout the weekend
• Railroad vendors and exhibits
• Food vendors
• Family-friendly entertainment for all ages

Lebanon Train Fest celebrates the enduring legacy of American railroading while supporting the mission of Cincinnati Scenic Railway, the nonprofit organization that operates the LM&M Railroad.

🚨Introducing The "Spirit of Lebanon"🚨

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cincinnati Scenic Railway Unveils “The Spirit of Lebanon” America 250
Commemorative Locomotive

LEBANON, OHIO — 6/11/26 — Cincinnati Scenic Railway proudly announces the
unveiling of The Spirit of Lebanon, a specially painted commemorative locomotive
created in honor of America's 250th Anniversary.

Serving as a rolling ambassador of freedom, patriotism, and American heritage, The
Spirit of Lebanon celebrates the nation's semiquincentennial while recognizing the
enduring role railroads have played in connecting communities and shaping the
American story. Based in Lebanon, Ohio, the locomotive will operate on the LM&M
Railroad and travel throughout Ohio during the America 250 celebration period.

"The Spirit of Lebanon reflects both our community's pride and our nation's
remarkable journey over the past 250 years," said Ray Kammer Jr, President. "As this
locomotive travels the rails, it will carry the story of American freedom, innovation,
and perseverance to thousands of passengers and spectators."

The patriotic locomotive features a custom America 250-themed design that honors
the ideals of liberty, unity, and opportunity that have defined the United States since
1776. As part of the nationwide America 250 celebration, The Spirit of Lebanon will
serve as a moving tribute to the generations of Americans whose vision, sacrifice, and
determination helped build the nation.

The public unveiling of The Spirit of Lebanon will take place in downtown Lebanon
on July 3, 2026, as part of Lebanon's America 250 celebration. Special excursion
trains and commemorative events will allow visitors to experience this historic
locomotive firsthand.

For nearly two centuries, railroads have connected people, powered commerce, and
helped drive America's growth. The Spirit of Lebanon honors that legacy while
inspiring future generations to appreciate the history and promise of our nation.
