Vaguely like the cruises on Lake George. There are hour long cruises and two hour cruises and three hour cruises and dinner cruises and fireworks cruises and almost day long cruises....
You are forgetting that they also run 2 north bound and 2 south bound North End Locals on Saturdays and Sundays as well as dinner trains on Tuesdays during track season. The railroad is just making adjustments to optimize the schedule. Why run trains when the people aren't demanding them. They will continue to try new things like the North End Locals, if they are successful t will continue. The 1st year they only ran Thursday-Monday, tried everyday demand wasn't there, so they cut back and tried the shorter hope on the north end. The sky isn't falling.

Plus the fact that they keep saying the freight end is "starting up any day now" and soon 2014 will be in the books with nothing to show for.Clearly you have never worked for a freight short line or tried to negotiate new traffic agreements for interchange.
