What I don't understand is, do the pro-trail people realize how isolated the middle segment of the Eel River Canyon is? With the exception of a handful off small, poor quality, isolated roads, the most isolated segement is well over 50 miles. Is anybody really going to access this trail? Is anyone going to walk or bike 50 plus miles? I can't see the railroad being torn out and replaced with a bike path.

Years ago (late 1990's/early 2000's) it was said that it would cost MORE to remove the Eel River line than it would to relay and upgrade the track. The reason given was that under current law, you couldn't tear out an industrial facility or sell former "brown land" without restoring it to strict enviornmental standards. If they just rebuild the railroad, they are required to clean up less, hence cheaper. I wonder if this is still true today?

This has always led me to beleive that the Eel River line will simply continue to sit and deteriorate.
