Description:
The Stark Electric Railway Trail is a former interurban rail line that ran from Canton to Salem via Louisville, Alliance, and Sebring from 1902 to July 15, 1939. The railroad was nicknamed the Bachelor Railroad because most of its executives were unmarried. Through the 1930s the line was busy, but buses were less expensive to operate and the train eventually ceased operation.




In 2001, the Stark County Park District constructed the first segment of trail between Hilcher and Kirby Avenue along State Route 153.




Parking is available along Mahoning Road NE.
