Here ya go, Pete:

Elizabethton Planning Director Jon Hartman said the track removal will
begin at the eastern end of the line on State Line Road. The track removal
work will move westward through Elizabethton and then on through the
western sections of Carter County until it reaches Johnson City.

...

He said the Elizabethton Police Department will be assisting the track
removal by patrolling any staging areas to prevent the theft of rails and
crossties and assist in the removal of any vehicles parked near the rail
bed.

Rae, missed the link to the JC article. JC owns the ROW, why don't they
police it??? Does this foreshadow Eliz. policing the trail at Carter
County taxpayer's expense?

The article from the JC Press does say they're enlisting the help of the
fine Elizabethton Police Dept to keep people from helping themselves to
rails.

I hate to be a wet blanket guys, but you may want to contact G&W
directly
as theft of OTM is a highly prosecutable offense, and a felony. With
scrap
prices high, the RR guys keep a close track of this stuff. You may be
able
to negotiate for a barrel of used spikes at a decent price - and get a
bill
of sale for the goods to prove ownership. That's the world we live in.
