I have a goal of riding every named Rail-Trail in New York State.
There are many more railbeds not used for trains anymore which are
also ridable. They are usually unnamed, unsigned, and unpublished. I
speculate that this is because the owner is either indifferent or
away. I've ridden some of these but I'm more interested in getting
the named trails ridden first. I'm maintaining the list of NY
rail-trails on my Rutland
Trail website.
I'm also uploading them to
OpenStreetMap.
Rode four rail-trails last fall so I'm updating my list of unridden trails.
