An excellent use of old rail road tracks in North Texas provides 64 miles of multipurpose trail: the Caprock Canyons Trailway.
The Fort Worth and Denver South Plains Railway Line…enabled local producers to send their products all the way to Colorado and beyond. The line was completed in 1928 and served the Texas High Plains for more than 60 years… Burlington closed the line in 1989, and three years later it was purchased, modified and spruced up by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. Once the makeover was completed, the trailway was turned over to the state park system with Caprock Canyons State Park in charge and today it accommodates trekkers on foot, mountain bike and horseback.
