10. anyone have a link to when the car companies helped remove the raillines?
as I recall reading somewhere, the auto companies were intent on removing a lot of rail lines back in the 70s and 80s..anyway, when I was a kid I remember taking trains in between small towns, and the town I live in now used to have a railroad but it was torn out and made into a walking path..it used to adjoin all the small towns around here ...too bad they fucked up with that idea by taking out something we needed.
