Electric train of lights and pumpkin patch trains will light up the fall season on the Comstock. The spirited collection of themed steam train rides on the Virginia Truckee Railroad includes a pumpkin patch train powered by steam engine No. 29 and will feature a stop at the Gold Hill Depot Pumpkin Patch. Passengers will board in Virginia City and depart the train at Gold Hill to choose a favorite pumpkin.
