         | HN has had so many cargo vs person rail stories lately.

       | Very interesting site, although not all the rail routes listed
       | are actually abandoned per se. For example, I live next to a
       | popular and well-maintained trail that used to be a railway, and
       | the site still lists it as an abandoned rail line.

         | I noticed the same for my local area. The site listed an
         | abandoned rail that has long since been turned into a popular
         | paved bike path. The pictures for the rail even show the bike
         | path instead of rail.
