It really isn't anything to be alarmed over...MM&A will continue to operate but has protected itself and its employees from impending law suits as a result of the LaMagantac disaster and, evidently, other problems.   

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
