Isn’t about time we stopped this NIMBYISM. The Nineteeth Century Railroad bed is laughable. We have trains that can go 200 miles an hour and DO all over Europe and Asia. and we limit them to 60 miles an hour here.
You can construct railroad beds that do not harm wetlands and allow access through and across land trust preserves. Focus on doing that ! Not stopping much needed public transportation progress.
