So the State still actually owns the Railroad right of way? I thought the state gave up their interest in that back in the 1930's when the line was declared abandoned.
Does your deed show a Railroad easement that was never removed?
Can you legally build on that land or is it just a right of way over the abandoned Railroad easement?
Is the State taking the same position on the railroad easement which runs along Route 11 between Alton and Rochester? Anybody know? I think some of that section between Rite Aid and Rochester may have actually been abandoned as late as the 1960's or so.
A very interesting thread for sure!
