According to a recent rumor, the track between Ellendale and Milton, DE, is to be abandoned in the near future, if it hasn't been already, and pulled up. Reportedly this line has seen no traffic in years and has only been used for car storage by the Delaware Coast Line. Can anyone nearby provide confirmation, details, etc.?
