The concept of transportation corridor preservation to reduce or restrict incompatible development has gained interest over the past 20 years. Most corridor preservation efforts, however, have focused exclusively on highway corridors. A number of recent developments have led public planning agencies to also consider rail corridor planning and preservation as a key part of their long-term transportation plans. The acquisition or adoption of certain abandoned rail corridors as well as the potential development of relocated rail corridors by state or municipal governments has served to increase awareness of corridor preservation and planning issues. There is a growing recognition that the current status and location of rail corridors, in the context of urban and freight growth, is essentially placing cities and rail operators on a collision course.
