context_page_description: Rails with trails 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, and Western Australia.
context_section_description: In the United States the number of rails with trails is increasing.  As of 2000, there were 1,000 rail trails in operation nationwide, comprising a total length of about 17,750 km /11,029 mi.  Of those, 60 (387 km/240 mi) were rails with trails, up from 37 (246 km/152 mi) in 1996.  Thus, on average United States rail trails are 11 miles (18 km) long, but the small minority of rails with trails are 4 miles (6.4 km) long.
