The university is currently awaiting approval on plans for a new arts complex that could not only save the historic train from being removed, but also increase ridership as well.
Over the years, the service has endured moves, budget cuts and the threat of being replaced by a bus. A proposal for a new arts center aims to move the train, which may threaten its future.
