Punkin’ Pickin’ Extravaganza
October 14th | 11am
Join us for our Punkin’ Pickin’ Extravaganza! An alternative to the traditional pumpkin patch, the North Alabama Railroad Museum is combining the thrill of picking a pumpkin with the excitement of a train ride!! Everyone will board the train at the Mercury & Chase Depot and ride through the woods to Normal, AL. All passengers will then disembark the train to visit our very own pumpkin patch. Every child will be able to choose his or her very own pumpkin to take home! We always get our pumpkins from Lyon Family Farms and they are beautiful every year!! Our 1949 Southern Railway Pullman Sleeper coach will be pulled along for this ride (however, no food or drink will be offered during this short excursion). Order your tickets early, as this ride is always a sell-out!
4 Departures: 9:30am, 11am, 1pm, and 2:30pm.
Ticket Prices: All passengers – $20 require a ticket, regardless of age;
Coach 2006 VIP suites and roomettes – $25 per person ($300 per suite, $50 per roomette)
