I feel like this post implies no other state owns their tracks...
GADOT owns about 10 percent of the rails in Georgia. The state separately owns the western and Atlantic Railroad, leased to CSX.
South Carolina... Exists I guess.
North Carolina owns the entirety of North Carolina Railroad Company which itself owns all of the tracks in the state.
Virginia owns some tracks it seems, but actively avoids ownership in so far as I can tell, little resources available
Same with Maryland and Pennsylvania.
The MTA and Amtrak own a fair portion of the tracks in New York (making it a fair candidate I suppose)
Connecticut is a mess, a mix between the state, the state DOT, Amtrak, Property management groups, heritage railroads, Conrail, Boston and Maine Railroad, NS, CSX, and others own the railroads. If you know American railroads, some of those may have been confusing. That's fine.
I'm not convinced Rhode Island exists
MBTA, Amtrak, Guilford/Pan Am (CSX), CSX, NS, and other freight railroad own railroads in Massachusetts.
So, of the 13 original stares of the union, two are nationalized.
Okay, so I may have forgotten that North Carolina exists, I would edit the post for clarity, but you can’t edit polls
