Like a Phoenix from the ashes railroading goes on:
In a scene repeated thousands of times across the Land a shortline switching job rolls past a long-disused passenger station. The building of the interstate highway system and the globalization of industry has led to the abandonment of many thousand miles of track in America but ingenuity and inventiveness has repurposed many Class I routes into regionals and shortlines and so railroading survives in out-of-the-way places.
