I really thin Linden is valuable for the line. you can run it from Main to Lamar and will not disrupt many business at all. this would also serve many places of interest: MLGW, Orpheum, FEDEXFORUM, only a block from Beale, Danny Thomas BLVD, STCC, and close enough to the medical distric specificly UT-Memphis. there are also several empty lots along the way that would be quickly developed. Not much housing around there, but definately a doorway to downtown with several destinations located right off the track.
CSX Rail line DONATED TO Memphis for LRT!

Update 11/07 news on converting the abandon rail line to a trail. Would it it be batter as a recreation trail? Or a commuter rail line?

Abandoning it is just insanely stupid. You have a huge, huge number of people going from one specific geographic area to another at roughly the same time each and every day. Roads are clogged, the air quality sucks (especially in summer) and ROWs are nearly impossible to create out of thin air these days.
Throwing away this opportunity is ridiculous.
