All aboard the Department 56 halloween railroad

My family and I are big fans of all things railroad, from Thomas and Friends, to GeoTrax, to the Dinosaur Train.

When we recently heard about Department56's railroad-themed halloween pieces, we were excited to check them out.

From the D56 page itself:


"Boo...Choo... there's an eerie express on the horizon... it's the haunted rickety railroad train station and famous haunted rails train. You can hear the chilling mob of skeletons, ghouls and zombies waiting at the station as the pumpkin train heads out. The train cars are as varied as the ghosts that haunt them. Frightfully fun and painstakingly detailed, the haunts of this 10th Anniversary Halloween Village will give you shivers of excitement. Complete your 10th Anniversary night train with The Haunted Rails Caboose, Rickety Railroad Platform and Git Offa My Train accessory before it all disappears through shadowy landscapes and isolated rail beds. This Department 56 Snow Village Halloween collection is available across America treating Halloween merry
makers to a cauldron of dire delights."

The couple have snowy scenes from the North Pole and Elfland set up in the living room, while the garage is filled with a huge Christmas in the City display, complete with streets, bridges and a baseball park. But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article
