Rails with trails

One of the railroad crossings along the Camp Chase Trail, a rails with trails in the United States. The trail has seven crossings, the most of any rails with trails in the U.S.A.[1]

Rails with trails (RWT) are a small subset of rail trails in which a railway right-of-way remains in use by trains yet also has a parallel recreational trail. Hundreds of kilometers of RWTs exist in Canada, Europe, the United States, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.[2][3]
