Sorry about my mistake. For # 11 I meant the old Rock Island from St. Louis to Kansas City. I don't know how I got it mixed up with Chicago. For the others that some say need correction, I don't know the specifics of which parts of lines have been preserved and which have not. The input from others who know better about houses, malls and crap like that being placed over former ROW's is much appreciated. <br /> I do like Futuremodal's ideas about resurrecting 12, 14 and 15. Especially since demographics are a lot different than they were 100 years ago. I guess probably the only lines that stand a good chance of ever coming back are the Cowboy line or the MILW road from Sheldon to Rapid City due to increasing coal traffic and the Rock from K.C. to St. Louis due to congestion on the former Mo-Pac. Last I checked this Rock ROW was still intact, but merely mothballed. Those ones and others in the South and West where there is a lot of population growth. Sadly I don't think the Midwest will ever be the industrial powerhouse it once was which means less need for rail.[:(]
