Costumes are welcome. The 2026 events list and a June press note both carry these three days. Use the museum’s current calendar for the ticket.

WW&F Railway Museum

Pumpkins at SeaLyon Farm are sold by size, cash or card, and they are separate from the ticket. The stop has food, Six River cider, beer, and wagon rides.

Downeast Scenic Railroad

(Hancock): The current Pumpkin Train booking item lists October 17 and 18, about one hour. Ages 13 and older are $28. Senior and military fares are $26. Children from birth through 12 are $15. The train stops so children can pick a pumpkin, with decorating stickers and snacks included.

The pumpkin trip runs from Washington Junction to Ellsworth Falls and back. A 90-minute foliage ride is a different ticket.

Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad

(Portland): The posted 2026 ride is the daily narrated train, Tuesday through Sunday through October 25, about 40 minutes along Casco Bay, at $24. Listed Mondays include October 12 and 19. The museum’s Pumpkin Train page still prints October 19, 20, 26, and 27, and it does not name the year. In 2026 those four dates fall on Monday and Tuesday. A separate page is titled for the 2025 Pumpkin Train. Book a pumpkin ticket when the dated 2026 calendar shows it. The waterfront ride is on the Maine scenic guide. The station is 65 Thames Street. Phone (207) 828-0814.

Planning tips

At Kennebunkport, pumpkin trolleys leave from 9:45 a.m. through 3:00 p.m. Trolleyween, October 23 through 25, is a $15 campus day, and the last trolley is 3:45 p.m.
At Alna, the fare does not include a pumpkin. SeaLyon Farm sells them by size. On October 12 the short farmstand trip is the 2:00 p.m. departure. On the other three days the short trip is 3:00 p.m.
Downeast’s pumpkin item omits the year. Match October 17 and 18 on the railroad’s site before you book. The September 11 Autumn Gold weekend was a foliage ride from the same station.
Portland’s posted 2026 train is the daily waterfront ride through October 25.

Always verify 2026 dates and prices on the railroad’s official site. American-Rails.com does not sell tickets.
