We stopped on Monday December 15th. We drove 2 and 1/2 hours. Some of our family was over 3 and 1/2 hours away and we were very excited to see this. My dad loves trains but it was 7:30 and the lights were off. We were very disappointed. There were two vehicles in driveway. I'm not sure why they weren't on. I leave mine on from dusk to dawn. I know what it feels like to drive a long way and have them get shut off as you're pulling up.
Is there a new Facebook page that shows when he is operating? The link was broken for me.
