Our countries once vital railroads are becoming things of the past. The Catskill Mountain Railroad could soon become one of those unless we show strength to our Ulster County NY legislature. Don't let the tracks get torn up to make a hiking trail.
Why is this important?
Railroads were once the way most of us got from place to place and our goods were efficiently and environmentally transported. Over the years we have made our highways into massive parking lots, made it difficult to travel, decimated public transportation except for crowded airports, and increased our dependence on oil, adding to pollution, etc. It is time to stop that and put the trains back on the tracks.
