These folks are proposing a rail trail over the former Rahway Valley ROW and the unused Conrail ROW from Aldene to Elizabeth. I can't see the Rahway Valley ever being put back into service but I wonder about the Conrail portion. Does Conrail have any plans for that? I assume there is good reason why it has not been abandoned. https://www.tapinto.net/towns/westfield ... oLBOMOH4UQ

There may also be underground utility infrastructure in the right of way generating additional income.
