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:

Columbia Parks and Recreation held two open houses on Thursday detailing the specifics of a railbanking proposal for train tracks that span from Rogers Street to Brown Station Road, a 2.5-mile section of the COLT Railroad.

[The railbanking proposal is for the tracks from Rogers Street to Brown Station Road.]

The city of Columbia has owned and operated these tracks on the Columbia Terminal Railroad since 1987.

Railbanking, established by the federal government in 1983, is the process of turning unused or very low-use train tracks into walking trails, with the possibility of turning the trail back into railroad tracks should that be decided.
