So an update on the train, I emailed the show and they replied, yes, the train is not going out this year due to staffing shortages caused by a number of factors that I am sure everyone in the business knows about.. However, the good news is that the train is not done yet....they stated that special events are being planned for the both the show AND the train for next year with the show's 100 year anniversary with more details to come as the 2023 season approaches.
So keep your hopes high as we look to the next season and what the show has planned.
