"While our hope is to see the train operating in the future, at this time, we must close the doors, cancel all future events, museum, and excursions for the foreseeable future." Sure doesn't sound like their re-opening to me....

I changed the thread title as to not cause alarm, but I'm more so curious if people more knowledgeable than I can lend an voice as to why this likely happened given that steam operations are already in short order today already.
