The Pumpkin Express returns to celebrate Halloween Saturdays and Sundays, October 5th – October 27th, 2024.
Join the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum Association in our annual Pumpkin Express Halloween Celebration! Come ride our decorated vintage railcars through the San Diego County back country as fall descends upon Campo, CA. The Pumpkin Express winds down the hill through some of the most scenic parts of the historic San Diego and Arizona Railway.
After the train returns to the museum grounds, passengers head to the Display Building where children and their parents enjoy decorating pumpkins from our outdoor pumpkin patch and viewing our collection of Halloween scenes and haunted train cars. Pumpkins are included in the purchase of every Toddler and Child ticket on the Pumpkin Express! Additional pumpkins may be purchased for $10 each. Passengers of all ages are encouraged to arrive in costume. Don’t miss out on this truly unique opportunity!
For a new ADULTS-ONLY spooktacular experience, check out the Sip & Scare Sunset Special, Saturdays in October at 6:30pm!

Trains depart Saturdays and Sundays, October 5 – October 27, 2024, at 10:30 am, 1 pm, and 2:30 pm.
