Will update when more info available on how long the Tram Cabin will be out of service.

UPDATE 1/10 - RIOC reports today that the North Tram Cabin was back in service yesterday afternoon at 4:47 PM. The cause was:

... a safety card and base had failed that pertains to the station cabin stabilization arm....

No advisory was sent out stating that the cabin was back in service until I asked this morning.
