Not too far away is probably a late SOU installation.

...Then a few months later the crossing was removed.

Faint remaint of grade hidden behind asphalt, overgrown grass was where tracks used to be.

Early 2000's NS installation

Another SOU installation.

Abandoned spur crossing.
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.8365543 ... 312!8i6656
Some track and an old switch that is visible.

More SOU installations.

...and i've ended back on myself.

I'd be a millionaire from the amount of times that line has been posted in this thread.

Not much left of the old MEC Cobbosseecontee Branch

Bridge Street, Gardiner Maine
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2311295 ... 312!8i6656

If you turn the time back to 2007 you can see the old street running on summer street!
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2311707 ... 328!8i1664

Sadly now removed.
https://www.google.com/maps/@44.2312269 ... 312!8i6656

Old trestle still stands.

Might not be related, But this is quite unusual, my guess is that this is the remains of an old railroad bridge.

You're definitely right. The tree lines here definitely show signs of former ROW:

Polk Avenue, Nashville, TN:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1386858 ... 312!8i6656

Appears to have been a connector track or branch line between what's now two CSX mainlines, most likely would've been used to serve customers along the former line. Looks to have been torn out ages ago though, as this is the only remnant I've found of it.

At Foster Street, the next street over, is what appears to be an abandoned spur:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1397592 ... 312!8i6656

There's also a couple of abandoned rail bridges over I-24/40 near where it appears to have intersected the eastern main it connected to at, but it doesn't appear that either one was once part of this line, meaning that this track (or at least this end of it) was torn out by the time this section of Interstate had been built:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.14156,- ... a=!3m1!1e3

It's also entirely possible that it never connected to the eastern main at all, terminating between Foster Street and US 70S/US 41.

What appears to be the remains of trestle pillars. What's odd is that the trail the pillars stand next to is the former right-of-way.

Unrelated, but this stands nearby.
