Morris County - Whippany - Halloween Express

Sunday, October 20 - Whippany, Morris County
Halloween Express


Halloween, with its goblins, ghouls, and witches lies just around the corner. Bring the kids and enjoy Halloween and the Season of the Witch at the Whippany Railway Museum!

Children and adults of all ages are encouraged to come dressed in their Halloween costumes, helping to make the train a kid-friendly, festive sight. In the interest of safety, please do not wear masks! Each child will receive a souvenir of their ride.

Walkthrough a railroad yard, lost in time, where you'll see the finest collection of restored, historic railroad locomotives and cars in the state of New Jersey - some dating back well over 100 years!  

Climb aboard for a relaxing excursion train ride that follows the route of the Historic Whippanong Trail. The train will feature restored, antique cabooses that passengers can ride in. Make your day extra special by riding aboard the museum's elegantly restored 1927-era Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) Club Car, Jersey Coast.  The car has the look and feel of a private club with individual leather chairs, mahogany interior accented with stained glass, built-in tables, and period ceiling fans. The Jersey Coast recalls the 1930s when the CNJ operated its deluxe coach train, the Blue Comet, between Jersey City and Atlantic City, NJ. The striking paint scheme of cream and blue reminds one of a comet streaking through space.  It is the only car of its type operating in New Jersey.

Trains depart at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 pm. Don't forget to visit the museum and see the seasonal indoor railroad display. Admission is included in the price of your excursion tickets!
