OK, now I'm more confused than ever. Help...
I recall reading that in other cases, more in the Midwest and Plains States, that once railroads were officially abandoned and torn up, farmers adjacent to the right-of-way would as immediately as possible plow under the roadbed in order to absolutely prevent any chance of rebuilding. Or use as a trail. Or anything else.
Could that not happen with the right-of-way here given "reversion"? Or is this just for the easements? Or does this not apply at all and should I go back to sleep?
