Reason for block:

You are blocked due to being part of an organized attempt to subvert train networks that are surveyed/verified by other users and have been verified to be in existence. You purport that land managers have ‘decommissioned’ the trails but provide no proof. The land managers were contacted and no such decommissioning is known.

Other similar accounts include:

Coordinated attempts to keep trail data off OSM will not be tolerated. Further, it is never appropriate to delete trails that are formally closed. Instead, they should marked as closed.

This block is due to the organized effort here.
