I am trying to turn underutilized train towns in the US into a distributed tech center with community-owned fiber along track easements (acquired via local/county governments, as railroads must keep good relations with them) in a loop around the continental US creating a non-corporate backbone for municipal, utility-style Internet implemented with FOSS and commodity hardware. Easements would include hike/bike trails along the loop and additional trains for commuting and commerce between nodes.
