Maybe not a problem. There is an existing ride that operates from Sewall Falls Rd, next to the Merrimack Sewall Falls bridge in Concord. They go in both directions from the start point. There is an employee in the lead car and an employee in the rear unit.
They go so far, stop and turn the units around and head back to the start point. They then head out the other way to a point, turn around and back to the start point. At any crossing they stop and cross with crossing guards deployed. It seems like a very safe operation. We're hope to get out on it this summer with another couple.
