Looking for an indoor activity this weekend? Tour the bustling model train layout at Union County's A. Paul Mallery Model Railroad Center.

With a late season cold snap expected this weekend, the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders reminds those seeking a fun indoor activity that the A. Paul Mallery Model Railroad Center is open during its regular public hours on Saturday, March 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Visitors can tour the elaborate layout and see a massive extension in the works. Pictured here, last weekend the Model Railroad Center hosted the National Model Railroaders Association for a special workshop and operating session.
