OPINION AND ORDER
WILLIAMS, Judge.
In this action, Plaintiffs claim that the Government effected a taking of their property when it converted an inactive railroad right-of-way to a recreational trail, pursuant to the National Trails System Act Amendments of 1983 (“Trails Act”). Plaintiffs claim that their predecessor owners granted easements to the Seaboard Air Line Railway for the sole purpose of operating a railroad, and that once these rights-of-way were no longer used for railroad operations, they obtained the exclusive right to physical ownership, possession, and use of this property.
