AC&J Scenic shuts down

  by RailVet
 
The following blurb appeared in the most recent issue of Railpace:

AC&J: Ashtabula Carson & Jefferson's passenger train operation, AC&J Scenic, shut down in June for the rest of the year after an FRA inspection found defects in some of the railroad's passenger equipment. The railroad is evaluating its options for either making the needed repairs or acquiring replacement passenger cars.

Does anyone have details on what the FRA found and what the AC&J intends to do?

They have not done any passengers since then. AFAIK they gave up, and let their liability coverage lapse. Some equipment was owned by others, I do not know if it was removed.
