There was a line about 10 miles south of me that ran east and west, and then one about 20 miles north of me that ran east and west as well that were both pulled up roughly 20-25 years ago if I remember correctly. They are now bike trails. There is still one spur off a main line that is only about 8 miles long that basically only goes to the one big elevator at the end of the line.
