Please don't nuke it. There are lots of physical traces of the former railway present, like platforms, pieces of rail, stations, infrastructure like a former electrical substation, etc. I don't know what you mean by "only an historical curiosity". It is of historical interest to many people, and is as real and concrete as other historical ruins. If you think the current geometry is inaccurate, please improve it if possible. Thanks, Steve
