It looks as if you're the one staging a false argument. Rail Trails preserve the right of way of the former rail line. Railbanking preserves the right of way and easements of rail lines that were going to be abandoned. The abandoning rail company reserves the right to re-establish rail service on a railbanked corridor.

They aren't outliers, they are the norm. Many of the them were freight lines for shipping materials such as coal or iron ore for industry that no longer exists in Pennsylvania. Or as transportation between population centers that no longer have the population to warrant a rail line.
The Pine Creek trail freight line from Wellsboro to Williamsport
The D&H trail which goes from Nowhereseville to Bumfuck
East Branch Trail connecting the bustling metropolis of Corry with the oil boom town of Titusville. Yeah, I'm sure the demand is there for a light rail. How much would you like to invest in that venture?

Really? Please tell how an electric train would serve the residents who live along The Ghost Town Trail? Or the Sandy Creek Trail?

Pennsylvania is a leader in rails to trails. So many good ones.

That grocery store has some of the best fried Cod. I try to go through there on a Friday just so I can get some of the Cod.
