Having had to deal with those folks--well-meaning but uninformed--rails WITH trails is dumb and dangerous, and sets up a liability quagmire of unimaginable scale. The problem is that it makes the tracks an obvious attractive nuisance, and invites people into extraordinary close proximity--too close. Instead of the tracks just being there, now this directs people to them. It's a bad concept and should be discouraged. <br /> <br />Now as to rails TO trails and railbanking, this is a very useful program that preserves the ROW, eliminates a major eyesore, and gets public use for minimal investment. <br /> <br />MC--your #3 is so very painfully true.
