I do imagine that many of those miles are in disrepair

Actually most of it is in good working order! The FRA regulations require a certain standard of maintaince for trains to be allowed to roll down the track so railroads will either abandon trackage or keep it maintained. Yes some sidings and branch lines will see lighter maintenance but they will still be maintained to a relatively safe standard until they are abandoned and no longer used by the railroad
