That's a bit surprising - I took a ride in it some 2 years ago and the train was packed.

Very curious as I am often in the area. I looked at the page. Apparently its an infrastructure concern-- that it's runs its course. Not really popularity. If it were to be reopened, it is likely it would have to be completely redesigned and built--from another page. Sounds $$$.

Sounds like they are trying. They are bringing in all sorts of people who build these-- would think they, of any state, could afford it.
