In constructing the railroads in the United States, thousands of landowners granted the federal government easements for the placement of railroad tracks. As rail travel declined, many of the routes were no longer used. Many of the railroad tracks were dismantled formally by cities and towns and many were dismantled informally by those seeking to utilize the iron from the tracks and the wooden ties. In some cases, the tracks were turned into bicycle paths that have served recreational and commuter needs. Jeff owns a house boat that he has moored off an island in the Mississippi.
