Keep in mind that Raton, NM now has only one pair of Amtrak trains per day, plus occasional baretable transfers to the ex-York Canyon branch -- and this has been going on since before 1980. Same applies to the LA Warehouse District, almost all track is gone now and was in the process of removal between 1960 and 80! In other words, yes, the backs of brick storefronts are interesting, yes, they still exist, but close to rail operations -- less and less.
