The Colorado Railroad Museum's annual Halloween-themed steam-up event is back to "haunt the rails" on Oct. 21 and 22. Grounds are open from 9 a.M. To 5 p.M. With themed activities taking place from 10 a.M. To 3 p.M.

Enjoy the Olde Railroaders Silly Graveyard, "not-so-spooky" Haunted Railcars, and a hay bale maze. An authentic, coal-burning Colorado steam locomotive will pull the trains at this event.

There will also be hands-on demonstrations and an appearance by the museum's own mascot, Spike the Railroad Dog! Wear your favorite costume and snap a group photo in front of the Pumpkin Patch cart.

Tasty treats and lunchtime food options will be available for purchase. Regular admission and train ride pricing applies. Capacity is limited, so advanced ticket purchase is recommended. For more information and tickets, visit ColoradoRailroadMuseum.Org/Harvest-Haunt.

Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum To Run Santa Trains

Oct. 17—The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum announced its Santa Trains will begin operation on November 25 and run every Saturday up until December 23.

Families can ride in a vintage commuter coach through the countryside for approximately five miles from North Judson to the small town of English Lake. After crossing the Kankakee River, the train returns to the depot and museum grounds. During the trip, passengers will enjoy visiting with Santa Claus and each child will receive a gift bag.

Diesel powered trains depart on each Saturday beginning November 25 at 10 a.M., noon, 2 p.M., and 4 p.M. Each day. The total length of each excursion is approximately 1 hour. Ticket prices begin at $20 and are pro-rated, depending upon age. Purchasing tickets online is recommended, as trains have sold out in past years. Seating is restricted, in order to give Santa enough time to visit and take pictures with all the passengers. Purchase tickets at www.Hoosiervalley.Org.

Admission visit the museum and grounds is always free. The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is located at the former crossroads of the Pennsylvania, Chesapeake & Ohio, Erie, and New York Central Railroads. It has one of the largest collections of working railroad signals.

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and education of railroad history. The museum is open Saturdays, year-round, and some select Sundays. Regular train excursions are May through September.

Visit the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum website at www.Hoosiervalley.Org for a complete schedule of events, dates, and train departure times. Order tickets online or call the depot at 574-896-3950 on Saturdays from, 10 a.M. To 5 p.M.
