Rails to Trails
I just read where another community is buying an old railroad and turning it into a hiking trial. This is happening all over North America and I think it’s a great idea. The old railroad paths are mostly flat, travel through a variety of interesting landscapes, and cut straight paths that would be impossible to cut today. Reusing the old rail lines is like buying an antique and finding a use for it in your home today. If you have an old railroad track in your town I strongly suggest working to turn it into a trail. It will add value and contribute to the overall health and well-being of your community.
