Wish I could have gone down there last weekend. I was already committed to a paid event in PA when this was announced, or I would have been there in a heartbeat, if only to ride over what was left of the original ROW. When I last visited back in 2013, it was shortly after Christmas, and they were running Christmas Light Trains. The Hudswell-Clarke 0-6-0 #21 was running that night. Because it was dark, there was no scenery except for the lights. The ride was much shorter than what I remembered as a kid.
So, is there another, larger loop that can be run, or is the unused trackage basically a dead-end now? I hear that the owner has the place up for sale. Hopefully, whoever buys it will not just subdivide it into housing lots, although I fear that's what will happen.
BTW, my first visit to Edaville was back in the late 1960s. I took a ride on a train pulled by B&SR #8. She had a late 1800s-style, coal-burner diamond stack on her at the time. Of all of the non-authentic stacks I saw at Edaville, that one was the closest to looking real.
