Texas State Railroad invites you to join us for our Adult Only Halloween Costume Party on the Rails!
Our adventure begins at the PALESTINE, TX rail depot on October 24, 2026, where we will promptly board the train at 5pm. We will traverse the tracks to our Rusk, TX Rail Depot whilst enjoying appetizers and a complimentary champagne or cider toast. We will disembark at our Rusk Railroad Depot and under the howling moon and enjoy a catered dinner and dessert as well as dancing to a DJ spinning your favorite spooky tunes (Brush up on your “Thriller” and “Monster Mash” dances)!
We encourage you to “Costume up”; however, be cognizant of the size and space constraints that are present in train travel! We will have several categories of costume contests for this unique Halloween excursion!
Included in the rates for this event are champagne or cider toast, appetizers served onboard, dinner and dessert with iced tea or water served outside on the beautiful grounds of the Rusk depot. Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase on the train and at the depot. This is an adult-only ROUND-TRIP event. This excursion is approximately 5 hours in duration including our time on the Rusk grounds.
Several pricing and seating options are available. ADA-compliant coaches are available but must be booked through our reservations desk.
This is NOT a steam event.
