They seemed to have dropped off the internet. Are they running this season? Any recent news?

Tom,
They're working on building a new website as I think they lost the domain or something to the old one. I was through Tuckahoe a couple Saturdays ago and they are indeed running trains from there to Richland.

So if I go to Richland and get on the train, I can only go to Tuckahoe? I ask because I saw the new building and ground work in Richland in January as I drove down route 40.

Later!
Mr. Ed

Ed, yes for now Tuckahoe to Richland is the limits of the "northern" section.. As I understand it there's still issues with the track condition between Court House and Woodbine and bridge over Dehirsch Ave in Woodbine. They also have service between Court House and Cape May and eventually will get it all sorted to run through trains.

I have motor cared the who line from Tuckahoe to Cape May. There is a section of the railroad that goes over a mud flat and at high tied water is in the middle of the tracks. That would need to be raised somewhat. Other then that the track is not that bad.

It's great they have the website up and running. They still need to get some of the details in place. Is the Richland - Tuckahoe service up and running?

Thanks,
