Rails to Trails converted to Dump

In todays Pittsburgh newspaper there was an article about how almost six
miles of a rails-to-trails was converted to a landfill. Reading the story
shocked me because our local politicans keep telling us how important such
trails are to the community, but when a "developer" wants the land then they
whistle another tune. Has anything like this happened to other trails? See
link below for story.
