Wonderful pics Alex. Thanks for sharing those. I love the idea of reviving old railroads.

We have an old rail line running through my town that is now a park (bike and hiking trails). It runs from Washington DC, through here and out to Leesburg VA. We could REALLY use that as a commuter rail line now as the "Dulles Corridor" is now one of the fastest growing in the Washington area. It's still wide enough for a double track. Of course they'll never reclaim it from parkland though. Too many people use it for recreation and even bicycle commuting.

Nice thought though.
