    I'm assuming the railway bed that borders your property is the old Albany Southern Railroad...? [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

    The old A&S roadbed is across the street. The line right next to it [not on my prop line, one lot next door] is the old B&A/now CSX. Got to say, The trains don't bother me at all. After about a week, I don't eaven hear them anymore. Plus I like watching them. I am a train fan from way back.

    Paul, HMMM, In many other investigative pursuits you hear the phrase, "Follow the money." I wonder if there would be any "paper trail" in the financial arena. Were they ever traded at the exchange, had any governmental/financial connection. Did they pay taxes? Did they use, perhaps in conjunction with governmental authority, right of imminent domain or other condemnation proceedings to get any of their right of way? Most of this sort of thing leaves a public paper trail.

    Good luck to you in your endeavors.

    Wooooo wooooo wooooooooooooo
