Happy Hour Train 
Our Happy Hour train is an Adult (21+) oriented train that gives local residents and visitors alike an opportunity to take a relaxing ride on the Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad.  This 3 hour excursion features five hot hors d'oeuvre choices, veggies and dip, and a meat and cheese tray served on our buffet.  A variety of cocktails are available at the cash bar in the club car.  The dance car will feature music from the 50's through 90's and a dining car will be set aside for quiet conversation.  This is a great way to begin a special night out.  Get a group together and leave the kids at home, this is one evening that you can enjoy.

400 Dinner Buffet Train

Great Pumpkin Train     Oct. , 11-12, 18-19, & 25-26, 2008
The Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad is proud to offer the Great Pumpkin Train.  This train has quickly become a classic and now attracts several thousand people on weekends during October.  This year the WGNR will have some 2,000 pumpkins from which to choose.  Many great activities including carnival games, kiddie carnival rides, a hay ride, motor car rides, face painting, coloring pages, a marshmallow roast, and much more, make this one of our best family events of the entire year.  Come early and spend the day, you choose your Spooner departure and can take any train home throughout the day.  Make your reservations early as most trains during October will be sold out. 

Elegant Dinner Train
The Elegant Dinner Train features dinner service in our climate controlled, mahogany interior dining car from 1918. The cash bar opens in the club car one hour prior to departure to get your experience off to a great start.  Immediately after departure from the Depot passengers will be seated for dinner.  Dinner begins with a sampling of Wisconsin Cheeses, dinner salad, our signature French Onion Soup, choice of Prime Rib, Stuffed Chicken Breast, or North Atlantic Salmon, and finish with your choice of scrumptious desserts.  After dinner enjoy quiet conversation at your table or move back to the club car and dance to sounds of the 60's, 70's, and 80's.
