The old right of way north of the current "East Site" is a driveway or
something, so I'd guess not there.

The railroad branch is abandoned just south of the end of the right of way
south, so that would probably be "possible" but there's a carbarn in the
way, the bridge just past it would have to be replaced, a new road
crossing put in... unless NS wished to ditch whatever customer is at the
end of the line there, and their bridge and crossing could be stolen (but
the track would still need to be regraded). I'd also rate this as a "no". 

I don't know what's in the valley up near the village of Arden; It's
possible "something" could be done there.
