Contest time: in what year do you think the first road will be converted to rail?
So, I was talking about how the whole "rails to trails" movement might soon get turned around, and the trails would be converted back to rails. Son Willie was quite offended. "No, he said, roads to rails."
Lots of young folks ride bikes, like Willie and 17 year old Mark Dockery, who made a great comment under Jan 22 post on why kids don't drive. But it wasn't always that only kids rode bikes. It used to be that all adults rode bicycles. So bicycles may make the comeback with trains.
What's clear is that between 2010 and 2030 roads will be turned into rails. The question is when.
Take a guess: winner gets a big prize!
