Just to cite one example (I'm sure there are others) - talk to UP about their Tennessee Pass line. Some would argue that UP isn't ever "in their right mind" - but some would argue otherwise, many of them stockholders who have done quite well with it despite miles and miles of RR that has laid unused since 1997. UP has vigorously defended their unused right of way, denying trails or any other such encroachments and requiring the construction of overpasses or full grade crossings for new road development. Kinda takes the wind out of your argument that all RR's want to do is get rid of unused lines as fast as they can......
