US railroads are so large and old that they literally don’t know how many miles of track they have. And some tracks are usable but unused until a customer asks for a train. And some records show tracks where no rail has been for forty years. Fun fact - some of those rail2trail trails are still considered railroads because the track can be readded at any time.
