Each weekend the “Spookomotive” will have a special theme, and the experience includes exciting on-board entertainment along with a tasty Halloween treat. Train ride guests are encouraged to get in the spirit and dress up according to the fun weekly themes that include:

Superheroes & Villains (October 5-6)

Pirates & Princesses (October 12-13),

Witches & Wizards (October 19-20)

Superheroes & Villains (October 26-27).

Staffed by a skeleton crew and whimsically decorated with spiders, cobwebs and cornstalks, the diesel-powered “Spookomotive” train ride offers a fun-filled, 45-minute, six-mile roundtrip trip along the Sacramento River. And, for “Spookomotive” excursion train ride guests who desire a VIP experience, they will enjoy themed entertainment along with the excitement of the Mad Scientist and his crew of minions.  All train ride guests will be treated to a special Halloween cookie and added refreshments are served for First Class train ride guests.

“Spookomotive” trains depart hourly from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
