Chillicothe railroad may become trail

Sunday, October 02, 2005

A story from the Chillicothe News:

Chillicothe's railroad, called the Chillicothe-Brunswick Shortline, is about 36 miles long and runs from Chillicothe to a point near Brunswick; however, most of the line has been embargoed and just about four miles at its north end are in use. . . . .

One possibility the board is considering is converting the rail line into a hiking and bicycling trail, similar to what was done with the former corridor of the Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT) Railroad (better known as Katy). When that railroad decided to cease operation on its route from St. Charles County to Sedalia in 1986, it presented the opportunity to create a 200-mile long-distance hiking and bicycling trail. The trail is operated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources as part of the state parks system.
