Funny. Typical redditor method of staging a false argument. Pick an outlier and form that as a basis for all cases.

Doesnt it seem likely that most railway lines were installed for a reason? They were designed to facilitate transportation from one point to another. Hence, they would likely be a great place to build a light railway for transporting people also. Casual or recreational use is a poor use for these vital right of way resources, but most people are too stupid to realize it.

Huge waste of impossible to regain right-of-ways. This could have been used for modern electric train transit that would cut down our overcrowded highways.
