Yes. The museum needed to lift a section of track to repair the roadbed underneath. Given that there was a photo event happening in the same time-frame, a decision was made to re-create the lifting of the original line, and it was a real hit with photographers. Most of the crew donned period gear as you have observed, so the photos came off rather realistic.
