The first one listed has since been removed, but the others are likely still intact.

Re: Tracks out of service
Sometimes longer lines get shorted to just being industrial spurs. For example, this (abandoned) spur here in Huntsville used to be a connecting track to the (long abandoned) rail network on Redstone Arsenal:Erik-Gorb-Hamilton wrote:Looks like this line went on for quite a bit.

Same for this spur off of the NS Memphis District East End:

And this industrial spur in Hartselle, AL is all that's left of a bypassed section of the original routing of the CSX S&NA North Sub:

Re: Tracks out of service
Out of service crossing in Philadelphia.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9027987 ... 6656?hl=en
Interestingly enough the tracks to the south of the crossing were almost free of vegetation in 2007.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9028121 ... 1664?hl=en
While in 2017 they were completely overgrown.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9028062 ... 6656?hl=en
While the track north of the crossing did not exist in 2007.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.9028226 ... 1664?hl=en
While in 2017 there was track there.
https://www.google.com/maps/@39.902814, ... 6656?hl=en
The crossing also has new road markers.

Re: Tracks out of service
No it hasn't... That would defeat the point of paving over it in the first place. And plus your link is to the crossing after it's been paved over.NathanFromEngland wrote:It's been resurfaced now.ToledoRailfan wrote:Here is another crossing in Philadelphia. This one has been paved over.

Out of service crossings on a one-way road in Bedford, Indiana.

Here's one with a cantilever signal.
https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8669436 ... 6656?hl=en
Here is where the part of the line that is still in place ends. It'd be kinda cool to live next to a former right-of-way even if the tracks were removed. This was later converted into a rails-to-trails (not the part that still has the tracks in place).

Wow, so did CSX just decide to scrap the rest of their line, and force IRR to give up the ghost as well, or what?
