The Silver Comet carried passengers NYC to Birmingham from 1947–1969. Ridership faded. The Seaboard Air Line Railroad went quiet. Georgia rescued the corridor and paved it.
I rode 40 smooth miles where the train once flew.

A forest of evergreens against a blue sky with white clouds behind icy water. Taken from the Adirondack Rail Trail in the town of Lake Placid. The Rail Trail is a walking/hiking/snowmobiling/cross country skiing trail along the location of an old rail line.

Double-H #running: Hive to Henfield half-marathon.
It was eerily deja vu because of many similarities to Snoqualmie & Sammamish rail-trails. Mostly due to shared 1860s-1930s technology I suppose. 🤔

With NH rail trail usage up over 45%, our Depot is the ultimate untapped asset. By embracing small-scale, mixed-use development, we can support local businesses and lower the tax burden on residents.
Read why the "High Cost of Quiet" is holding us back. #RailTrail #GraniteState
Big win for #Pittsburgh: Funding was just secured to extend the #Panhandle Trail into #Carnegie, and it's all low-cost and high-impact.

I love a good #RailTrail - they connect places, and times!
Think of all the effort needed to build, then all the time it carried cars. And now? It carries feet.
Connection? Medieval castle to Roman ruins. 😍
Love it!

The long-awaited Durham Rail Trail will be cool.
But it could have been so much better. Why? It lacks housing.

A person walks along a leaf-covered forest trail during daylight in autumn, surrounded by tall deciduous trees with golden and brown foliage. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled light across the path and illuminating the rich textures of fallen leaves. In the foreground, a green trail sign is mounted on a tree trunk. The sign reads “Little Tooky Trail” in white text, with a white hiker icon and an arrow pointing forward, indicating the trail direction.

A mile-long loop on a narrow wooded trail and a section of wide railbed that once ran locomotives from the Concord-Claremont Railroad.

Thankful for a quiet morning on the #PaulinskillValleyTrail today.
The cool air, the crunch of leaves, & a peaceful #railtrail ride were the perfect start to #Thanksgiving. Grateful for the time outside before the holiday meal.🦃🚴♀️ @railstotrails.org @bikesky.social #cycling #bicycle #NJ #bike #ebike
I have found two new #LittleFreeLibrary Boxes in my neighborhood(ish) ... up the hill from #SantaCruz Boardwalk.
And one more off the #RailTrail
I have found the Second Nora Roberts LFL in town.

The image shows a tall, wooden fire lookout tower with a small cabin at the top, situated among trees with autumn-colored leaves under a clear blue sky.
The image shows a vintage locomotive with the number 20 on its side, displayed in an outdoor setting with a clear blue sky. The locomotive is red and black, featuring a large headlamp on the front and is situated on tracks. There is a passenger car attached behind it, painted in red. To the left of the locomotive, there is a covered platform structure resembling a train station waiting area.
The image shows a serene outdoor scene with a waterfall cascading over rocky ledges into a pool below. Surrounding the waterfall are lush green trees, indicating a forested area during spring or summer. On the right side, a person stands on a rock near the base of the waterfall, adding a sense of scale and human interest to the natural landscape.
The image shows a section of a building with a prominent tower. The building is painted in shades of blue with white trim. The tower has a unique shape, with a wider base that narrows as it rises. At the top of the tower, there is a weather vane. Below the tower, there is a sign that reads 'MILFORD.' The sky in the background is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day. The architectural style and the sign suggest that this might be a historical or significant building, possibly a train station or a public building in Milford.

A paved riverside path curves gently alongside a calm canal, bordered by a black metal fence and lined with trees in early autumn foliage. On the opposite bank, a row of historic red-brick industrial buildings with tall windows and chimneys stands in contrast to the natural setting. Forested hills rise in the background beneath a clear blue sky, while power lines stretch overhead, hinting at the area's blend of heritage and utility.
A weathered red-brick industrial complex stands behind a prominent water tower. Some windows are broken or boarded up, hinting at the site's age and partial abandonment. A white truck is parked near the paved road in front, while trees with autumn foliage surround the buildings under a bright blue sky.
A first-person view from a cyclist riding along a paved forest path blanketed with fallen autumn leaves. Tall trees with golden and orange foliage line both sides of the trail, and sunlight filters through the canopy, casting soft shadows. The rider’s right hand grips the handlebar, while a small rear-view mirror is mounted on the left, adding a personal touch to the tranquil fall scene.
The rear end of a rusted train car sits idle on a short stretch of track in a wooded area, its surface covered in colorful graffiti. Autumn trees surround the scene, and a dirt path runs parallel to the tracks. In the background, a cyclist rides through the forest, adding a touch of motion to the otherwise quiet, sunlit setting.
