MARYLAND — Some unique train fun lies ahead this month. Residents can take their pup for a ride on the rails or catch the train to a pumpkin patch at one Maryland museum. Locals can also enjoy an evening canoeing on a serene creek. Patch recently partnered with several local organizations to bring you their latest news. This guest contribution comes from National Park Service Chesapeake Gateways and Chesapeake Conservancy. Here's what Jody Hedeman Couser submitted to help you explore the Chesapeake Bay: "Catch the B&O Pumpkin Patch Express and Tails on the Rails All aboard for two great train rides that only happen once a year! [At] the Tails on the Rails train ride[,] you and your four-legged friends get to enjoy an afternoon of exploration and fun, featuring a photo booth with props, a train ride to Carroll Park for a Puppy Playdate and a Yappy Hour with adult beverages and snacks for owners. Oct. 16, 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm. $20 for nonmembers. More information. Pumpkin Patch Express. Take a Halloween-decorated train ride out to the B&O's pumpkin patch.
