Where has rail been ripped up? I've never
heard of that happening. Is
it a national trend?
Try around NY, Boston and east coast in general, especially the metro
regions. Many of the rails have been abandoned over the last 50 years
and are being removed infavor of many uses from trails to roads.
A big waste if you ask me.
Not to mention the pollution factor. I'd find it hard to believe all these
trucks spew less pollution than the trains they are replacing...
