The railroad operates Harvest Fest shuttles and posts the next departure at each depot. Exact return timing and boarding depend on the day's operating schedule and capacity. Registered families will receive a reminder with the meeting point and any schedule updates. Families who choose to stay for food or additional farm activities may use a later return shuttle independently, subject to the railroad's schedule.
GOOD TO KNOW
A parent or caregiver stays with every child. This is not a drop-off event. Historic train cars require steps for boarding, regular trains do not have working restrooms, and food is not allowed on the train. Please review the railroad's access information before booking.
