Does anyone know what is going on with respect to the abandoned rail
corridor extending from Moscow to Joel, Troy and Kendrick.
Have we lost any part, or all, of this for a pathway vista such as
mentioned by Juday, above?
The rails are being pulled up.
There is word that some parts of rail yard in Moscow already are sold.
My guess is that we have "lost it all", and this probably means forever,
because the right of way already has diverted, or is about to divert, to
adjoing rural/farm land owners.
Too bad, indeed.
No, I am not volunteering to honcho such a project. But maybe there is
someone, much younger, brasher, full of energy, full of salesmanship,
enthusiasm and vision, who would pursue such a project, immediately.
