There used to be miles of trolly tracks here in my county. People didn't have cars at the rate they do now and then the inerstate system turned an all day drive into an hour commute. They ripped up all the trolly tracks and replaced them with a smattering of buses. Now the tracks are begining to be laid down again, on a smaller scale.
It will be interesting to see how future housing prices are affected by their proximity to a train stop.
