I’d have say that a 20 month time to remove should have been sufficient notice to remove. It’s called laxed and thinking it will never happen. I’m sure if they really wanted to keep the RR they could have removed it and stored. Later RJD
R J, very well said. I totally agree.
We all need to be responsible for what we do or don’t do. If they were paying for rent or had a written, time limited, agreement, it would be different, but 20 months and no action. State’s “Garage Owner’s Lean’s” usually take effect after 30 days. No sympathy here.
As far as to what a person does on their property, I’m very much on the home owner’s side and sit on the local zoning committee to maintain the defense of my opinion. I don’t always win, but they know my thoughts. And elections are won and lost over decisions made. “People that don’t take part in politics are destined to be goverened by fools”
Yes, our past Governors make our license plates.
" THEY DISPOSED IT…"
I’m curious as to how and with whom the “disposal” occured.
Did a dumpster welcome the track? Was it donated to a club?
My experience…
Enthusiasm is a strong motivator – both negative and positively.
I “helped” a neighbor install a large garden RR. Hours of my work – both with trestle construction and laying track. One year of operation and then seven years of idleness. Watching over the fence at the deterioration only motivated encouragement for restoration with my help.
Nothing was done nor initiated.
The deterioration continued until a spousal decree for removal.
The track has been taken up – with less aplomb than laying it. I asked for it under the assurance it would be used by our garden RR club for displays. They agreed.
The hobby has a life span all its own.

One of our local club members said it best:
“Like every railroad, it served its purpose, and then was scrapped. Very prototypical.”
