A local trails advocacy nonprofit is seeking to revive a rails-to-trails plan from the 1990s. The Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance has sent a letter to Eagle County commissioners in support of reviving the plan. This effort comes as Union Pacific seeks local support for a proposed merger.

The merger in question involves Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern Railroad. Further details about the proposal and the potential impact on the community are available from the source.

The trails plan is related to Union Pacific's inactive Tennessee Pass Line, which spans 220 miles between Pueblo and Dotsero. For more information on the proposal and the efforts to revive the trails plan, readers can refer to the original source.
