We farm a short stretch of former railroad next to land we had. We reclaimed it maybe 10 years ago. The rails, ties and a lot of the rock had been sold off and removed. The topsoil on either side was nice black dirt, was maybe 100' wide altogether. There was a ditch along the track, so I used an excavator, dug the ditch deeper, then pushed the remainder of the rail bed into it and covered and leveled everything up. That ground produces as well as the the rest
