Still nothing new about the Ellendale-Milton line. Both town councils, Ellendale and Milton, are interested in having the line abandoned to create a trail. I'm all for getting rail service through there, however, without any customers on it there's no benefit to them and certainly no reason for passenger service between Ellendale - Milton. Of course, at one time the line ran west all the way to Queenstown, Maryland and ferry linked to Baltimore and east to Rehoboth and ferry linked to Cape May. Anyone know how easy/difficult it would be for a rail to reacquire the right of way? Obviously the tracks were torn out decades ago, but on our property you can still see the raised bed that runs through the woods headed towards Greenwood. Actually, there were stops in Oakley, St. Johnstown, and Owens Station before you got to Greenwood. Although a single rail line wouldn't be very profitable, a comprehensive line may be as the population increases. I doubt there's any real interest in it from the State as DART is the most comprehensive bus service in the nation, but even so there has been clamoring for years from throughout the state for simple passenger rail service to connect the lines operating in Newark & Wilmington to Dover and possibly Rehoboth Beach.
