>If the "train people" had stayed, would the track to the vernal pool preserve still be in place and usable for excursions?
Yes, for the simple reason that the Prairie Wildflower Trains raked in upwards of $85,000 net per season. These trains and the volunteers who like to run them were deliberately run off.

The trains were gone by 2000, but the track is still there, mostly unserviceable.
