It's just about time for the train to leave the station. I mean the annual famous Pumpkin Train of the Coopersville & Marne Railway.

Next weekend, and through October, the famous train rides the rails on Saturdays, September 24th, October 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th and on Sundays September 25th, October 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th. Departure times vary by day and date, so check the web site at www.MiTRAIN.net for details. The friendly Conductor will call “All Aboard” at 20 minutes before each departure.

The Grand Pumpkin and her cast of wacky musical characters will “enterTRAIN” you and your guests during the color-full, 90 minute ride through family owned farms and fields. During the journey, a laugh-filled, musical show will be presented in each decorated train car by the costumed characters. Each railcar is heated and has a restroom. Some of the vintage cars are almost 100 years old. The locomotive is a 1950’s era diesel / electric engine.

At the end of the trip, kids go to the Track-side Pumpkin Patch to pick their very own, locally grown pumpkin.
