The Western Maryland Scenic Railroad’s Pumpkin Train will run a special schedule on Saturday and Sunday during the last two weekends of October.  Wes Heinz, Executive Director at the railroad, says the seasonal train ride includes games and refreshments for all passengers, including a visit to the pumpkin patch. “We’ll see, I believe the number is about 2,000 a weekend that we have seating for, and all kids or kids at heart—whether you’re young or old you get to carry home a pumpkin of your choice.
