Thompson v. United States, 101 Fed. Cl. 416 (Fed. Cl. 2011)

(plaintiff, a landowner owning land adjacent to abandoned railroad, claimed that its property rights were taken by the Rails to Trails Act (16 U.S.C. Se. 1247(d)) upon abandonment or railroad; under state law, deeds at issue transferred fee simple absolute to railroad rather than easement; three-step analysis set forth in Preseault v. United States, 100 F.3d 1525 (Fed. Cir. 1996) applied in analyzing property rights in railroad abandonment cases).
