Mammaltronsays...It's slightly sad seeing tracks in that state, knowing how much hard work went into laying them.

On that same token, nice to see people still find ways to appreciate them.

Porksandwichsays...You'd be shocked to find how many places have railroad tracks buried beneath them or in their parking lots.
They are a PITA to remove, so people just build right over them and you'll never guess they were there until you hit one and find out it's going to cost you a lot more to do the work because they are such a pain to remove.
And if you decide you want to hook up to the railroad system, they charge you an outrageous amount to come and repair/certify the tracks you want to start using.
I am not sure if they have restrictions on removing them and that's why people just bury them or if it's because it's just easy to bury them than try to remove and take them to be melted/landfilled/whatever.
But yes it's depressing to see railroad tracks all over the place like that and in disrepair. Just like it bugs me to see old and architecturally interesting or unique buildings left to rot or sitting empty because the whole neighborhood around it slowly turned into a ghost town or shit hole high crime spot. While the building that's no more than a tin shed is being used and sitting right next to it making the older building look even more out of time.

I used to walk down a railroad near me once every few weeks. Went on for absolutely miles and miles, i joined it from the village nearby and followed it for 8 miles or so then turned back, didn't reach the end. It weaved through all the busy areas around here and ended up being one of the most serene and enjoyable nature walks i've had, on a deserted railroad overgrown with plants and stuff.
They barricaded it a few months ago, no one's allowed on it anymore.

Oh come on... It's not like it was YOUR hard work that went into them. What about the ancient Incan civilization? A lot of work went into that, too, and a whole people are dead. How about the ancient Egyptians, ancient Persia, the Babylonians, Atlantis... You need to re-prioritize the things you cry about.
