Yes! A most wonderful 2021 project to be proud of for the whole Valley! I’m originally from Broadway and this has always been on my mind since I was a little girl. I live in Germany now, and this is the way of life here..connecting villages and communities with multiple ways to exercise, “wander” and congregate with neighbors. The trails also help stimulate small businesses and restaurants/foodshacks/watering holes along the way! You must not forget benches, and trail signs, trash and recycle bins along with doggiedoo bag receptacles. I hope the local towns choose to invest in this project for us and our future generation’s enjoyment!
Have you priced a used locomotive and cars? Have you priced conductors and cleaning crews, maintenance crews and insurance? Have you priced rebuilding many sections of old worn out track? Are you a moron?
Definitely agree with you there as I am a train fanatic and have always wanted to catch this part of that railroad line in action again. If I'm correct they stopped using it around the year 2016 even back then they would run the trains to mount Jackson and no further. Now they just run to the broadway vpgc feed mill.
@@coolmtnman1 oh I believe it for sure. Went by the pilgrims plant in broadway today and nothing but tall grass and weeds taking place of the rails. It’s just sad
Hi John - thanks so much! You can find more info and sign up for email updates on shenandoahrailtrail.org. Soon we're going to share out information about an upcoming survey for the feasibility study that the state is conducting to gauge interest in the project. Thanks again for the support!
You guys are train track murderers you guys are ruining history people like trains better than trails you could turn it into a tourist line with steam trains and then people would love it
Richard - you're absolutely right! The local community has been exploring the possibility of a Shenandoah Rail Trail for already more than five years, and we have a long road and a lot of work ahead of us, but the support for the trail is strong and encouraging and it will be well worth the effort and wait!
3 million for the first phase of this rail and only half a million to house homeless vets, the disabled and seriously mentally ill in Harrisonburg. Nothing for Clarke, Frederick or Shenandoah counties for the homeless! We have people sleeping in Wal-Mart parking lots all over Winchester but that's ignored! Take care of human beings basic needs first!
This is soo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I HATE rail trail it should be trails-rails people like trains better than rail-trall why don't you guys just instead of turning it into a trall make a train track bicycle or pedal car that runs on train track people would love that more or let trains run on it which is the best
So initiate eminent domain proceedings to force the owner to sell or have it seized for the public good.

I want to see a tourist railroad happen on this line. I recently signed the petition to save the line.
I agree a million percent they are train track murderers we could use a steam train here and be a cool tourist railroad

I just wish it could be an active rail line again.....

@@prestonwells1840 have you priced a used locomotive and cars lately, what a joke,

I don't think it will be a train track again, Im fune with making it a nice biking trail.
Yes, I want to support this. How do we help?

TRAILS DON'T JUST MAGICALLY.
How many of YOU have actively helped create one or more trails near you, not just been users?

This would be awesome 😊
No this would suck it's very sad it could be used as a tourist line

put them to work helping build the trail , it would provide a lot of jobs which is what they need, not handouts
This would be great. If there is a possibility for any exercise / fitness component I would be happy to donate design services.
perfect idea, to buy a train and repair the rails would be several million dollars . It's a one way track and only lazy ass people would take it.
