Happy Halloween from Mooroolbark Miniature Railway

Halloween returned to the Mooroolbark and District Miniature Railway (MDMR) on Tuesday 31 October for a spooktacular event.

The first time in four years the railway has been able to host its annual Halloween event, it did not disappoint, with crowds flocking to the Hawthory Road railway track.

Seeing devils, angels, Wednesday Addams’, witches, superheroes and baby pumpkins take to the carriages of the miniature trains once again was quite the joy for the members.

With trains conducted by the friendly volunteers from MDMR from late afternoon until the early hours of the evening, it was the generosity of MDMR’s members that made it all possible.

Hundreds of people lapped up the opportunity to gather with friends and family for picnics in the park, before some headed off to go trick or treating in the local streets.

As night fell, lights and smoke machines turned Kiloran Park into a somewhat spooky atmosphere.

MDMR will return to its regular train rides program on the fourth Sunday of the month, 26 November.
