While this is true in theory, there are few, if any, examples of a RR reclaiming a ROW from a trail group.

Yes! Track Abandonments. More and more is happening every day. So what does it mean for the rest of our Great Railroad system? What does the Future hold in store. Our Nations Rail System is getting much smaller. More ans more Trails are taking their place. What is realy happening to our Great Rail system of today? The future looks very gloomy. Allan.
