The mountain views of the former D&’s “Royal Gotge Route” are under-appreciated. Through passenger trains disappeared over that route in the mid-1960’s.

I’m sure that the NIMBYs will howl bloody murder if trains start rolling again. My sympathy is limited: having train noises resume is one of the risks they took when they bought property near railroad right-of-way where the track remained in place. Like people who build near cliff-edges or on flood plains, they should have known better.
