Plaintiffs point for support to Hash v. United States, 403 F.3d 1308 (Fed.Cir.2005), where the Federal Circuit recently stated: “In Preseault v. ICC, the Court held that if abandonment of railway use and application of the Trails Act effects a taking when the easement would otherwise revert to the owner of the servient estate, the landowner may sue for compensation under the Tucker Act.” Hash, 403 F.3d at 1312 (emphasis added) (citations omitted). 5 Plaintiffs allege that in Caldwell, the landowner’s right to full use of the fee arose before the ICC issued the NITU.
