the county in which i live has gone from an old agricultural community to a revitalized tourist and yuppie community. in the process the old warehouse districts which had developed along the southern railraod right of way have been brought back from abandonment and redeveloped as shops and walk in businesses. these areas are characterized by businesses and parking areas built within yards of the tracks, pedestrian traffic at grade level as well as several grade level vechicle crossings. the trains in this district are large coal and general freight and they move at a fair clip as they enter and leave the yards along the river. plenty of pace and weight to cause a great deal of hardship should there ever be a mishap. <br />i suspect that there are many such "reclaimed districts" in quite a few of the new south towns. "rails with trails" not withstanding a whole lot of people are being brought into close contact with the "row" all over the country. <br />
