Rail Museum officials say the upcoming Halloween-at-the-Roundhouse and the annual Santa’s Whistle Stop Tour,held in December have been canceled for 2020 because of COVID-19.
Executive Director Matt Merk says the museum has concerns with the large groups of people who attend the annual Halloween and Santa events and congregate closely together.
