I was kinda thinking the same thing. I used to walk the old rail lines as a kid, but these were all out of service lines many from defunct companies dating to the 1800s. You could only find small sections, and the adventure was to decipher where the line used to run. Look for the obvious signs, and have an adventure. My cousin and I actually stumbled upon a ghost town. Most of the adults knew of its existence even if they didn't know where it was exactly. We found out that we had hiked along a total of 23 miles that day. Seemed really far to a couple of 13 year old kids. We never considered walking across an active line train bridge. Even when we couldn't hear any trains, I don't ever remember even feeling for vibrations to see if we could.
