Apparently Southern Pacific RR (aka SPRINT!) had a very special train car that was very slowly travelling their entire system. As it went along, it dug a trench, laid cable and covered over the trench. The RR would not divulge numbers, but freely acknowledged that it was making much more money on its right-of-way for laying cable than it did by running trains. I'd guess that they probably get plenty for converting their tracks to jogging trails, but retain right of way rights for underground cable along those trails that they build "for the good of the community". -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin(a)xenosoft.com
