The Walt Disney World Railroad station in Frontierland is now closed until further notice.
The Magic Kingdom's railroad is now running as a shuttle service between the Main Street and Fantasyland stations. The change is to accommodate construction of Disney's planned Villains land and the two new Cars-themed attractions that are replacing the Rivers of America.
Walt Disney World officially closed the Rivers, the Liberty Square riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island today, following their last day of operation on Sunday. Disney has removed those attractions from the Magic Kingdom's online maps.
Disney has not announced yet how long the Frontierland station will be closed, nor when full circuit service will resume on the railroad.
In other Magic Kingdom news today, Disney reaffirmed that Walt Disney World's It's a Small World boat ride also will be getting "The Last Verse" new lyrics in its final scene - a change that Disney announced for Disneyland in February: Disneyland embraces its history with new Main Street exhibits. The new lyrics debut July 17 - which is Disneyland's 70th anniversary.

And it wasn't even that long ago that the railroad was closed for multiple years due to the Tron construction.
Ah well, onward and upward I suppose.
