Iconic Pikes Peak Cog railway closed until....?

Toured the NE states in summer of 2016 and rode the Cog to the top of Mt. Washington, highly under dressed for the weather at the top. Did some research and found that the only other COG still operating in the states was at Pike's Peak. So summer of 2017 we set off across the country from SC to Cali and back. Got to ride the PP COG exactly 1 year apart. Only difference was the PP COG had front and rear facing seats, and of course got stuck facing downhill for 3 hours. There was no mention of that when you purchase tickets online and they choose your seats to make sure each car was at capacity. Been there, done it, will drive next time!
