Pumpkin Train at Delaware River Railroad Excursions

Delaware River Railroad Excursions offer many things to do throughout the year. Our trains include: Easter Bunny trains, Regular Season trains, Mine trains, Winery trains, A Day Out With Thomas, Corn Maze trains, The Great Pumpkin trains, and the Polar Express.

The Great Pumpkin Train:

In the month of October, every train is The Great Pumpkin Train. When riding the Great Pumpkin Train, every child will be able to pick their own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. The pumpkin patch sits in a beautiful glade in front of the century old Carpentersville Lime Kilns. The lime kilns are not only the oldest but also the largest left in existence in New Jersey, dating to before the Revolutionary War! Either take a beautiful ride along the river, or take in one of our amazing attractions. Enjoy the Corn Maze, and or the Ol' Susquehanna Mine. Tickets are available on site if you should decide at the last minute! Every train stops at the Pumpkin Patch on the way home, so, don't worry, no matter what attraction you enjoy, you wont miss out on a pumpkin!

The Maze Games:

We have two engaging games for you to play. First, there is the numbers game. In each of the two mazes on site there are 6 podiums hidden. Your "Corn Card" will give you clues to find the podiums. On each podium there is a card punch. When you find a numbered podium punch the corresponding number on the "Corn Card". if you get one to six in the small maze or seven to twelve in the large maze you win and we have a small prize for you when you come out of the maze. The Monster Mystery game. It all happened one crazy fall night! A mysterious blinding flash lit the night sky. Boots the dog went to investigate but never returned. Monsters have overrun the farm and have taken Boots! Find out which monster took Boots and where he is being hidden. Enter the maze and find the 6 hidden location maps. At each location, punch your card once for the monster and once for the hiding place using the attached hole punch. The remaining un-punched monster & hiding place reveal Boots' captor and location.

The Mine:

Also on site is the Ol' Susquehanna Mine. You can buy tickets on site if you have already not purchased them. Pan for real gem stones you can bring home!
