Good infrastructure left to rot and then turned into a "rail trail" combined with abandoned industry. Welcome to St Louis.

    If you live in an high population density area of the US and want to make yourself sad, find a map of the abandoned rail lines in your area.

      Doesn't need to be a high population area, i lived in a little farm town in the Midwest for awhile, the rail line wasn't just abandoned, they dug it up :sadness:

      There was rail line turned into a trail 5 minutes from my house in my tiny rural hometown. There used to be multiple trains a day coming through that would take you to nearby cities.

      :deeper-sadness:
