The Haunted Train Ride Through Washington That Will Terrify You In The Best Way Possible

Every autumn, the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad offers a Harvest Run and a mid-October fall foliage ride. They’re both beautiful and fun, but if you love Halloween, wait until the end of the month. The Headless Horseman Halloween Train is always on the last weekend of October, and it’s as spooky as it sounds.

There is no age limit for passengers on this train.
