It may well be a good thing if this forces the entire "rails-to-trails" concept to actually be used only for its originally intended purpose: keeping the ROW available for future rail use. That was, after all, what it was originally intended to do unitl the anti-rail NIMBYs perverted the concept for their own purposes. As you said, though, a really smart lawyer could still figure out how to get around this ruling (and one will, sure as fecal matter stinks).
