What about a 2 foot wood post with a log rail on top? I have tried looking but can't find an RSA that requires a chain link fence. If there is one somewhere, why can't the legislature make a change or exception?
BTW: Why is there no chain link fence seperating the Laconia Daily Sun parking lot from the tracks?

Remember, not every rule or regulation is an RSA.
The reason that the specified fence has been required is because the Railroad Division of the NH Department of Transportation has mandated it. They have the authority over that section of railbed and it's adjacent ROW.
There could be a myriad of reasons that they believe the fence is necessary, including a possible requirement by Federal Rail authorities.
In any case those wishing to understand the reasoning behind the fence would have to contact the NH officials at DOT to find out what the rationale was.
