Need a place to burn off some of that trick or treat candy? Say goodbye to Halloween and October at Ashland Train Day.

Ashland Train Day is an annual railroad-themed event for whole family held in the Center of the (Railway) Universe, right along the tracks in downtown Ashland. Scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., there will be music, miniature train rides, activities, model trains, displays, story telling and more.

The event is free and honors the railroad history and heritage of Ashland. Bring your camera, there will be plenty of trains and kid-friendly, smiling-inducing sites to see. Dressed them up in bib overalls, bandana and engineer hat too if you'd like (adults too).

Did we mention the trains? There will be lots of model trains. The Engineer Bears mascots will be in attendance. How about a train moon bounce? Of course, there will be plenty of real trains right out front all day. Food and drink will also be available.

Trolley shuttles and parking are available from the Ashland-Junction Shopping Center all day. Additional walking to lot is at Henry Clay Elementary School. Parking is limited near North and South Railroad Avenue. Rides are free.
