Public Ownership is Quetly becoming more common. <br />Akron Metro the local Transit Bus Agency Owns about 60 miles of Track in Summit and Portage Countys. They lease it back for a nominal fee to the Wheeling and Lake Erie for Fright servive. They Also lease track to the Cuyahoga Valley Line for Passenger Service. As of this year you could take a train from Independence OH outside of Cleveland(77F RTA BUS Service from Terminal Tower) to Akron Oh(32 miles) Overnight in Akron and then continue on to Canton in the Morning. <br /> <br />In Vermont , The state owns all the track in that state except the Central Vermont(NECR) and leases it back to Vermont Railway. Futher more they have invested money in Exchange for Passenger service on Freight railroads. The Problem with Vermont as far as passenger service is that the state only has 600,000 people in it and that the tourist season is very Cycleical
