In a top-10 list of long rail-trails in the country, they use his picture for the W&OD!

Nice!

Personally I’m a little disappointed to not see the NCR/YCHT on there, or the Pine Creek rail trail in north-central PA.

Haha. I’m sure orange cone slalom teams (you know who you are, I’m sure they exist in Europe) drool at pictures like that, but to the rest of us, that picture makes it one of the worst rail-trails in the country. Not best.

Why dont people remove the cones?

Because Officer Friendly was standing by making certain they remained in place to keep everyone “safe.” After he left, the cones migrated away from the trail…somehow.

Greenbrier trail is on my to-do this year

I did it (in two separate rides) this fall. Very pleasant. I want to ride it again in the springtime. No disrespect to the C&O but I think the scenery is a lot less monotonous (love the tunnels, and the wide sweeping switchbacks that follow the river). Surface is great, and there’s very little in the way of encroaching civilization. Need to plan carefully if you’re looking for roadside stores and so forth, since there’s only a couple of places for that, and they’re not open all year.
