Harlan and Letcher County Abandonment CSX has filed with the STB to abandon a 13 mile line in Harlan & Letcher Counties. There has been some interest by the tourism folks in Harlan County. What could make this an ideal project is that it links with one of KYTC's designated (on-road) bicycle routes, it ties in very close to the Kingdom Come State Park and begins within the town of Cumberland. The line on the map that we are referring to is green and then turns to blue as it heads northeast. This would be a great extension of the park for people to recreate anywhere from a mile to 26 miles. Imagine the first Kingdom Come Marathon..... The STB Docket Number is AB55-Sub665X.
