Is your favorite main line now full of weeds and wild flowers?

My favorite two sections aren't now covered with weeds and wildflowers - in many cases they're covered with forests, mobile homes - or worse. They are on the routes of ACL's former passenger trains of the 50's and early 60's from Augusta, Ga to Wilmington, NC and exist from Jackson, SC to Cope (site of present SCEand G plant) and from Florence SC (big CSX hub) to near Wilmington. Apparently the merger of SAL and ACL made managers think this route was no longer worthy. I can't see why, when all the traffic now has to go WAY out of its way on other routes. Isn't the shortest distance between two points a straight line? The older I get the more I realize I don't understand.
