The Anniversary Celebration is NOT a replacement for the Fall Spectacular. The Fall Spectacular will occur on Columbus Day weekend as usual. You are certain not to see the FS level of activity at the 40th Anniversary. There will be a maximum of two locomotives in steam.Second, although many local an state officials have been invited, the event is NOT intended and NOT expected to be a platform for any kind of announcement.
Below is the official release of the schedule. A few words of note, the three regular trains will be run in the usual fashion. Additional trains will be run turning the same time period as demand warrants. Twilight train will be in two sections if demand warrants. The vintage film session noted earlier has been cancelled.
Note that, like the original opening, the anniversary is being held along with the local high school's homecoming activities.
