Railroads declined sharply in the late 1900s, leading to rail abandonment going from 800 miles per year before 1980 to over 4,000 miles per year subsequently. To alleviate the railway’s responsibilities for non-active lines, Congress amended the 1968 National Trails System Act, adding “railbanking” in 1983. Railbanking preserved the right-of-way and the infrastructure, while allowing them to be used for other uses, like rail trails. Rail trails involve pulling up track, and laying down gravel atop the former rail bed. This allows everyone from cross country skiers and horseback riders, to bicyclists and hikers to travel some of the most picturesque terrain around while navigating the relatively gentle grades common with rail corridors.
