Does anyone know why the WDW Railroad is going down for refurb for so long again?? It was down this past October and since it was my first time I did not get to ride it and it left me feeling like a little magic was gone and since I am going again in October this year I was really looking forward to riding it and now I am once again disappointed.

Since Disney is open year round, they have no choice but to close some attractions in order to maintain/refurbishment them. It stinks that the same attraction you wanted to ride will be closed on two different trips but it happens sometime.

I just returned from WDW and while riding the WDW Railroad I noticed that clusters of in-use railroad ties had orange paint marks on them, and then there was a pile of new railroad ties off to the side. I thought the paint marks were odd since the track was just closed for refurbishment twice in the last two years, but seeing what I saw made me think another closure was pending, and your post has confirmed my hunch.
I am with you on feeling disappointed about it, I don't for the life of me understand why they keep closing the line down to do track maintenance then just a few months after they open it back up they make another closure announcement.
I feel your pain.

From what I've seen, it's slated to be reopened by December.

Maybe they thought it was better guest-service-wise to have it shut down for a shorter period two times instead of a longer period ONE time.
