This must've been during their off-season. I could tell because the last three cars were empty.

@@waynemacfarland1546 that is correct. They only opened for less than a month at the time this was taken.

@@davidng2336 I remember going to the Turtle Back Zoo with my grandmother during spring break in April once, and I was very disappointed when I saw a notice at the ticket booth saying that the train wasn't running that day.

@@waynemacfarland1546 it depends on when you go. If it’s in January or February it will be closed. Otherwise it’s most likely due to a maintenance issue or bad weather. Also beware that the last run is at 4:30.
