See the historic depot in autumn and ride on the steam train, pulled by the Santa Cruz Portland Cement Co. #2 steam locomotive, built in 1909. Both weekends of Halloween Train will feature an old-fashioned cider press demonstration and hot apple cider, along with the scenic ride through the Valley. On the second weekend, there will be a Halloween story-telling event, with Karen Haas telling Halloween tales of yore during the train stops at the Northwest Railway Museum’s Train Shed.

Come in costume for a $2 discount coupon. Children dressed in costume will receive prizes.

Trains depart every two hours beginning at 11 a.m., from the Snoqualmie Depot at 38625 S.E. King St. and at 11:30 a.m. from the North Bend Depot at 205 McClellan St.
