Railroad Abandonment & highways

I am making this comment because of something unusual in the entry. In reference to railroads in the town it said they were abandoned "to increase highway use". I have never seen this before. Usually the cause for abandonment is 'increased competition from highway trucking' or similar phrasing. I cannot ever recall a situation where rail lines were abandoned "to increase highway use". This sounds like it was written by someone who believed there was a conspiracy to force traffic into cars and trucks. In all the abandonment cases I have ever read of the lines were maintained until there was insufficient traffic to justify the railroad. Railroads don't just ask to be abandoned if they have good traffic and the regulators don't grant abandonment requests to benefit highway traffic!Corumplex (talk) 12:47, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
