What's the difference between "out of service" and "abandoned"? I assume the distinction is in how often the railway is used. I know of some rail lines near me that are classified in the TIGER import as abandoned (not even out-of-service) , but which still have trains run on them occasionally (or even fairly often) -Alex Mauer "hawke"
