>>1261080Rails to trails is a pile of shit concept don't get me wrong.
But on the flip side, at least rails to trails means the right of way doesn't disappear completely.
The land owner could do worse, like abandoning the property entirely, then ceding control of the ROW to the city, which would inevitably deed the thousands of parcels to nearby land owners. In which case, rail would never see the light of day there ever again.
