Re: Determining if the railway is unused

after working for BNSF....
and learning how dangerous just rolling stock can be in the dark of night in
the rr yard...mind you an empty box car is 22 tons of steel....and they roll
ever so quietly....
and they are scary to see come rolling at you in the dark....

any way all active rail lines are considered federal property...
i do not know about un active lines....knowing how HS is so paranoid...they
will come up with some law....almost scared to ask....then the law will come
quicker
