Looks like 2012.
"The railroad's business fluctuated greatly; in 2004, it hauled 401 carloads of freight, and in 2007 carried 25,907 passengers, but in 2009 these counts decreased to 25 and 12,208, both record lows.[1] Towards the end of its existence, the railroad changed from separate freight and passenger operations to mixed trains (which carry both freight and passengers) at least twice a week, depending on the season.[1][4] The railroad also offered charter and special trains.[1]

After the close of the 2012 operating season, things took a turn for the worse. On May 23, 2013, the Santa Fe Southern board chairman announced that he had laid off all of the railroad's full-time staffers and many seasonal employees. The railroad did not operate any trains during the year of 2013."
