Are the plans to open up Kenebunk Station as a Downeaster stop still active? I'm guessing it isn't happening this year as suspected.

Since it's going to be a seasonal stop like Old Orchard Beach, whether it goes live for '17 or '18 depends how close they get to nailing start of 2017 summer season (i.e. at-worst they can maybe miss Memorial Day, but if 7/4/17 isn't solid then they probably just hold off on opening until full-season 2018).
