LTV Railroad

2011 will mark the 10th anniversary of the closing of the LTVX line from Hoyt Lakes MN to Taconite Harbor MN. The tracks are still there, unused . Does anybody know what is the formal status of this line?

What do you think should happen to it? Leave it mothballed in case someone comes up with a use for it? A tourist line? Tear it out for a recreational trail? Abandon it & let the ROW revert to the adjacent land owners?

Whatchya think?

I believe they will be tearing it out soon. The F’s are still on property and for sale. The #4210 moves occasionally to spot cars to be cut up.
