Hi Don,

Please note that in the article the Boston-Maine railroad is not an active railway along this trail. In the case of the WOW trail, there is an active railway operating along a proposed route as a potential adjacency. I think that this is the crux of the issue. The railway does not want to operate next to the trail without a barrier as a matter of safety. The barrier is an issue for everyone else. So, if everyone is hell bent on this route, displace the railroad. That would save huge money and remove a significant safety issue. For my money, I would reroute...but, that is me.
