Saw the posting and wondered if the site listed any of the many abandoned lines I see here in Montana. Turns out it does: https://www.abandonedrails.com/montana

I'm particularly fascinated with the Homestake Pass line, which is easily visible from the adjacent I-90 freeway -- you can see the rails are still in place. Apparently it was never actually closed, they just never ran another train after some date in the 1980s. Subsequently there have been some tunnel collapses that make the line unusable.
