FAQ
As a result of the improving conditions of the COVID19 pandemic, we are amending our protocols as follows, to align with CDC, state, and local health agency guidelines and best practices currently identified:
Face Coverings: The CDC currently states that fully vaccinated people may resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing themselves, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
The federal Transportation Security Administration has issued Security Directive 1582/84-21-0lA stating that all persons aboard a train, bus, plane or other mode of fixed route transportation must wear a mask, regardless of vaccination status, except while eating or drinking. Passengers aboard our railroad are permitted to eat and drink.
We will comply with this TSA security directive. We are also obligated to specify that failure to comply with the above security directive may result in denial of boarding or removal; and refusing to wear a mask is a violation of federal law which may subject offending passengers to penalties under federal law.
Interior Cleaning & Sanitization: Cleaning and sanitizing liquid will be utilized to disinfect the interior of the train and all high-contact surfaces, periodically throughout the day.
Thank you for observing and cooperating with the above health protocols to help us keep all staff and passengers safe while on board our trains!
