Tomorrow in #BellinghamWA, the #WhatcomCounty Historical Society has a presentation about the 1880’s Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad.
This might sound like it's only of interest to the nerdiest of train nerds. BUT HEAR ME OUT! The old track bed of this railroad still exists in places, and is part of the long-proposed Nooksack Loop Trail & the Bay to Baker Trail. We need to convert more old railroads to non-motorized trails!
It’s that time of year again, when the excellent Amtrak 30 day, 10 segment USA rail pass is on sale. Only $450! I’ve done it before, and it’s amazing. #rail#train#travel
@ukuku Cool! I've only taken the amtrak a couple times, St. Paul to Chicago. Looking to do some combined rail / bicycle touring.
Do you have any recommendations for destinations I could access from lines from Chicago...Destinations which have outstanding cycle touring options readily accessible from the train depot? Especially rail trails for rural, good cycle infrastructure for cities. #amtrak#cycletouring#cycling#railTrail#RailsToTrails
We just published a guide to ALL the navigable rail trails on the Manchester and Keen Railroad between Keene and Hancock, including trails in Marlborough, Dublin, Chesham and Harrisville.
Had a lovely 72km ride today on the Military Ridge Trail. Rail trails are great, but I continue to hope for the return of passenger rail between Madison and Dubuque.
