Hottest Topic in the Park?
I'm not sure why this is, or what this means, exactly, but the topic that gets the most comments on the Adirondack Almanack, and on which I've seen the most letters to the Editor of various local publications, is the idea of converting some old rail lines in the ADKS to a trail. There are VERY vocal and active folks on both sides, generating lots of heat. Here's a very recent example: http://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2014/10/state-seeks-comments-on-best-use-of-railroad-corridor.html

I'm interested in this but I don't have a partner? Anybody else interested?
ReplyDeletePart of what makes this cool, other than weighing the various economic, environmental, and social benefits of rails versus trails, is the role that trains have had in the past and may have in the future of the economics. As we turn away from fossil fuels, trains may become a popular way to travel around the United States, including to the Adirondacks!
