The train will take passengers to a pumpkin patch, where families get to pick their favorite pumpkin before getting back on the train for the return trip to the depot.

“I really liked it. We got to be in the bi-level train so it was pretty cool getting to see it from a little bit of a hike. So I got to see it a little bit farther than most other people on the bottom so it was pretty cool," said Rhett Butler.
