The city of Columbia is planning to turn over 2 miles of the COLT Railroad into trail, similar to the process that created the Katy Trail.

The process is called railbanking, where the rails would be removed but the space would be sustained to allow rails to be put back in if needed.

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