However, CMSL doesn't know when funding to repair the ROW between Woodbine and Cape May Court House will become available, therefore CMSL doesn't know when service to Cape May City will resume.

That's my thoughts.There is one MAJOR point being missed here, and that is railroads (even a short line like the CMSL) DO NOT EXIST TO PLEASE RAILFANS! I know that may be hard to believe but it's true. As Mike said, there are secrets that companies keep tightly locked up due to sensitivity issues or even as a condition of a contract. Just because a few railfans are not pleased with how or what the CMSL is doing doesn't mean they are not gearing up for further expanded operations. Just be patient and remember they are a company which is there to make money!
