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

1. Milwaukee - Miles City MT to Seattle - actually much of the ex-Milw in Washington, Idaho, and western Montana is either recreational trail, Forest Service road, or local access road, even a golf course, and of course a few sections of original trackage are still intact and in use. But there are still a few weed and wild flower covered portions from Plummer ID west to the Washington state line, the removed viaduct over Cow Creek in central Washington (just west of the UP overpass at Marengo), and the former ROW by Rock Lake WA that is still under private ownership. <br /> <br />2. SP&S from Fish Lake WA to Pasco - again, most of this is or is going to be recreational trail, but still under development or in the planning stages, and the sharp ballast through the Scablands of Washington has become covered in sagebrush and wild sunflowers. <br /> <br />3. UP's former Yakima WA branch - okay, so not a mainline, but still a usually fairly busy line, one of the local railroads of my childhood growing up in Sunnyside WA, it passed through the irrigated farmlands of the Yakima Valley right by my best friend's house (thus a good excuse for a sleepover!)
