North Carolina also owns part of the former Piedmont & Northern, which Patriot Rail has just begun to operate as the Piedmont & Northern Railway.

Missouri owns most of the Katy Trail, the abandoned former MKT ROW. It's an unbroken, 225-mile rail-trail running from St. Charles, right outside of St. Louis on Missouri's eastern border, nearly all the way across the state to Clinton (and connected to Columbia by a trail spur). I've biked the part in St. Charles.

It is not state owned, but Berks County PA owns the ex-RDG Colebrookdale Branch from Pottstown to Boyertown. For more info click HERE

Power is an SW1500, pictured at Boyertown:

The 84 mile line in Miami area and the other whatever miles through the center of Orlando now.

They usually become state owned for commuter rail or because someone wants to abandon.

Maryland DOT owns the ROW from Frederick Junction on the CSX Old Main Line to downtown Frederick on the Frederick branch of the MARC Brunswick Line. The only bit of track in the state they own IIRC.
