Reply to comment by Prometheus357 in Edaville Railroad wants to nix Thomas Land, focus on Christmas season and housing units | Operators of the railroad-themed amusement park, located in Carver, want to build 336 housing units on unused portions of the property and only open during the Christmas season by rabblebowser

If memory serves they were closed for a while. They sold a bunch of their rolling stock off (they were original Maine narrow-gauge cars and engines, some of which are now with historical preservation/recreation museums in Maine) and went in hard on Thomas the Tank Engine when that was actually a popular brand.

The writing was on the wall for the Thomas stuff. I’d bet monetizing unused land is a decision to help them raise capital to rebuild as a non-Thomas park.
