>>1675890Don’t do it bros you’ll fuck your bike. I live on the western Nebraska portion and all they did is take out the tracks and smooth out the rail ballast. Nobody out here rides bike on the trail because there’s a shitload of steel shards still in the gravel and it will pop your tires.

>>1680228The federal government still holds trackage rights, and can turn these back into rails at any point they wish. In my part of Nebraska there’s talk they might put rail back in to extract more coal in Wyoming. To be fair though, that’s mostly old man talk so take it with a grain of salt.
