The Halloween Train Show is being held this weekend at a 140-year-old silk mill in Paterson, and is one of the largest O-scale model train layouts in the world.
The event, held annually, is hosted by the New Jersey HiRailers. The layout has a series of buttons attendees can press to turn on different train signals, patterns and accessories.
A new attraction in the layout is a Gotham City area.
The New Jersey HiRailers has been an organization since the 90s, and they have been in the mill since the early 2000s.
The club has 70 members from around the U.S. Each member has a display case for their model trains.
More information can be found on the New Jersey HiRailers' website.
