The Northwest Railway Museum invites all to take part in fall festivities at the Snoqualmie Depot, with the annual Halloween Train ride Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 25 and 26.

The Halloween Train takes families on a scenic excursion through the Cascade foothills of the Upper Snoqualmie Valley, including a ride to the top of Snoqualmie Falls on the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.

Visitors can see a depot decorated for the harvest season, enjoy live musical entertainment by Eric Ode, discover a model train layout and an old-fashioned cider press in action, and sip hot apple cider and craft a keepsake.

While in North Bend, visitors can show their Halloween ticket at George’s Bakery and receive a free sugar cookie.

Riders receive $2 off when they come dressed in costume, and everyone in a full costume will receive a prize.

Trains depart every 75 minutes beginning at 12:01 p.m. from the Snoqualmie Depot, at 38625 S.E. King St., and at 12:31 p.m. from the North Bend Depot at 205 McClellan St. Roundtrip fares are $7 for children ages 2 to 12, $10 for adults, and $9 for riders age 62 and up.
