Funny coincidence (?), long ago I saw a TV special about the old Aztec calendars and how they're supposed to be sort of an almanac to the past and future...and they predicted the end of an age around 2011. Maybe it's the end of the Petroleum age?
Although they may have dismantled the railroad system, they have made apoint of keeping the right-of-way, and it's likely that the rails will be rebuilt at some point, perhaps in a more modern form. In which case, removing the antiquated rails is a good head start.
