For background, in the USA there is an intermediate step to abandonment. A corridor can be "railbanked", meaning the easements don't expire. It's not an active railway, but it can be returned to rail service via an administrative procedure. And in fact, that's happened. Usually however these become trails, a process that can take decades. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
