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.

Deafunct Railroad?
Reminds me of living in Vermont when we used to open the front and back doors to let the 3 AM train go through...
We adapted well to our close proximity, and learned to use the ground shake to rock us to sleep, after a bit.
I honestly don't know where you came from, however I do know that the railroad traffic in this topic area, is nil to none most of the year round. Now here again, picture yourself at a baseball game at Fenway Park, for instance. When you should hear a very LOUD CROWD noise, put your hotdog down for just a moment, and pay attention! A fast ball could be headed your way...
Okay, I have lived in Laconia since years, and the WOW trail is one of many improvements to this area that I totally agree with!
Folks here have been putting up with me for many long years as well.
Even though I'm a little dislectic, and spell WOW backwords, it's still a good thing!
