Sometimes even the truly abandoned lines that are still owned by a railroad are off-limits. The former Rock Island Cedar Rapids-Iowa City trackage on the south side of Cedar Rapids is (last I heard) owned by the Cedar Rapids & Iowa City RR (a.k.a. "CRANDIC"). The ROCK passes over the former CNW main (now UP) down by the power plant north of Hwy. 30. I wrote a nice letter to the CRANDIC asking if it'd be OK for me to explore that ROW, and even though there's little trackage left on that line south of the CNW/UP overpass which sees no activity at all, the CRANDIC left me a polite but unwavering voice-mail response saying they'd rather I not because of the safety concerns (obviously not for getting hit by a train but for the billion other kinds of injuries that can occur from walking along even a scrapped ROW).
