Take a fun-filled ride through the crisp rural landscape while enjoying a mix of fall colors! Trains leave the depot and take passengers on a leisurely journey before returning to the museum grounds. We’ll drop you off at our Pumpkin Patch where young and old can play games and choose the perfect pumpkin for carving!

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum will be running Pumpkin Trains every Saturday in October in historic North Judson, IN, at the junc

tion of four former railroads.  A diorama of the Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York Central Railroads is on display in the admission-free museum, along with one of the largest collections of working railroad signals, a restored WWII Pullman Troop Car, and all types of rolling stock, engines, and memorabilia of a by-gone era.

Diesel Pumpkin Trains are 10-mile, round trip excursions to the Kankakee River, lasting approximately 45 minutes.  All trains depart from the depot area and drop off passengers at the Pumpkin Patch on the museum grounds.

Please check the website for departure times and prices.  Tickets are available on-line at http://www.hoosiervalley.org or by calling the depot on Saturdays at 574-896-3950.  Please book in advance, as many of these special trains sell out.

NOTE – Prior to boarding, passengers purchasing tickets on-line need to pick up their tickets at the ticket office.   Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure.
