    This is my cup of tea; though not in an urban setting. I write at very long lengths about reclaiming developments into something useful (though usually that’s just forest).

    The thing, I suspect, with abandoned rail lines, is that they are still owned by the rail company, and just not used. They don’t plan to use them, but they’re still holding onto the property or lease because that’s cheaper than actually cleaning/rehabilitating the rail line. Just another product of our capitalistic system. The free hand is all well and good, but if you don’t have any regulation on industry, this is exactly what you end up with. This is what happened in the mining industry for years. Welp! we’re done. Pack 'er up boys, and turn off the mill on the way out.
