Ride The Downeast Maine 'Pumpkin Train' This Weekend

Grab the kids and take the ultimate scenic pumpkin train ride in Hancock!

Fall is the best time of the year. Crisp days, football, and of course, amazing foliage. There are people in many parts of the country that don't get to experience the beauty of the changing of the seasons in Maine, so we should consider ourselves lucky.

The Downeast Scenic Railroads Annual Pumpkin Train, includes a ride which stops at the Pumpkin Patch. Families can get off the train and chose a Pumpkin for the kiddos. Once back on board, staff members will hand out Pumpkin decorating stickers and FREE snacks. This is great Family event, so make sure you book today.

An added bonus, is that summer like temps are making a return this weekend, with highs in the upper 60's and plenty of sunshine as well.

The Downeast Scenic Railroad was named Best Day Trip in this year’s poll of Down East Magazine readers’ favorites.
