trail use in a “Rails-to-Trails” taking liability determination. The government’s argument that trail use is irrelevant to the taking determination is directly contrary to this precedent. This court recently rejected the government’s arguments that the United States is not responsible for trail use in Jenkins v. United States, 102 Fed.Cl. 598, 619 (2011). As the Jenkins opinion explains, the Trails Act scheme does not, as the government contends, authorize only that the railway right-of-way will not be deemed abandoned for railroad purposes if the corridor is railbanked. The preemption of abandonment and the attendant blocking of the reversionary interest, which gives rise to the taking, is expressly conditioned on a trail operator reaching an agreement with t (Fed.Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>). In sum, the court finds unpersuasive the
