🎃 2026 Halloween season
Pumpkin Patch & Halloween Train Rides — 2026
42 U.S. heritage railroads run pumpkin patch, Ghost Train, or Halloween excursions for the 2026 season. Each operator page lists verified 2026 dates, ticket prices, what's included at the pumpkin stop, and how to book.
Pumpkin and Ghost-Train weekends in October routinely sell out before fall foliage does. Where a railroad runs the same event every year but hasn't posted 2026 dates yet, the page goes live as TBA so it ranks before tickets release.

How we keep dates accurate
Every railroad listed above was verified from its own site or another reputable source. Where the operator hasn't posted 2026 dates yet, we keep the page live and mark the season as TBA — these are operators that run the same excursion every year, so the page should rank ahead of ticket release. Each dedicated page links straight to the operator's official booking page.
