Threat to Katy Trail

The Kansas City Star today published an interesting story about controversial plans to tear down the railroad bridge at Booneville, Mo.

What makes this controversial is that the bridge is part of the old railway corridor that makes up the Katy Trail. Like many other rail-to-trails project, the right-of-way being preserved in case it is ever needed for railroad use again. Many believe tearing down the bridge will make it impossible to use the corridor as a railway again, thus meaning the land now used for the trail would revert to private owners.
