R2B You are correct on that they own the land. Like I said earlier, when abandoned, many of the rights of way went back to the original owners. Many are still owned by the B&M, like in Rochester and Dover on the old Dover and Winnipasaugee Line. Its just too bad that the few can deprive the majority of easy travel. Glad I'm an old man and can remember as a kid of all the private property I went through and the land owners used to wave. Not any more.
