Thanks, Trailgoer. Good info. Trains were a part of my growing up. No Interstates then and lots of folks didn't have cars. Growth was around the RR depots as it had been around the rivers 100+ years earlier. I think or the RR's as part of our local heritage and, while I appreciate those who want hiking/bike trails, I think we should have due respect for history. Rails to Trails at least preserves the routes.
