Weeds on abandoned right of ways? Heh, how about active right of ways being overgrown?. <br /> <br />Where I live the city code enforcement nazi's decided to become proactive this past year, and went out into the neighborhoods looking for people to write up for weed violations, and on some days it was amazing to see how many "weed violation" notices were posted, house after house. <br /> <br />But, strangely enough, the sides of the NS rail mains through town were overgrown so bad that they had grown beyond weeds, beyond simple scrub brush, they looked like they had gone wild again... Nasty nuisance trees, vines scrub, it was a disgrace. <br /> <br />it was funny in fact how the weed nazi's could cite home owners for a few weeds right up next to the overgrown railway, and not be troubled by the railway looking 10 times worse. <br /> <br />Finally, somebody did the right thing, and the mess got mown, hacked, and chopped back to a reasonable level. Less mosquitos too, made for better railfanning.
