Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Dozens of landowners packed a Thursday night town hall meeting to air their frustrations with a proposed bicycle trail.

The Missouri Central Railroad Company, which is owned by Ameren Missouri, plans to convert the largely-abandoned Missouri Central Railroad into a trail running from Beaufort to Pleasant Hill. The Rock Island Trail would run through towns like Freeburg, Eldon and Versailles. Ameren owns the railroad's right of way but not the ground it sits on. Still, under the National Trails Act, Ameren doesn't need to consult or compensate landowners like Rodney Luebbering.
