Museum admission is included and there is tons of fun inside the Depot too. The Great Pumpkin Train weekend is an annual fall tradition you won’t want to miss, and is sure to create new memories you’ll want to experience each year.
…

When you arrive at the “pumpkin patch” on the train, each ticketed passenger gets to pick out their own pumpkin to take with them. The train ride is about 90 minutes total, and you’ll return to the Duluth Depot where you can stay all day to tour the railroad museum (included and open until 5pm).

 Helpful tip: Bring a bag to carry pumpkins in – Grocery bags work great!

Other Good Stuff to Know

Trains operate rain or shine and in snow. Restrooms are available on the train, and coaches are heated/cooled as needed (except in open air car areas). Passengers in coach are boarded in the order they have arrived for checkin. First people to checkin are able to board first. This also allows for extra time to tour the museum beforehand.  Any First-Class seats are boarded by reserved seat assignment with no need to checkin extra early. There is ramp parking on both sides of the Depot building, which is sometimes free on weekends (Sat/Sun). Follow signs accordingly, if the machine does not accept payment, then it is free.
