If there comes a day that the scenic railroad is no longer a viable business then that will be the time to look at building a rail trail.
What if--just for discussion purposes--the business was serving 100 people per day, and a bike path would serve 500?

I don't know the "market" for a bike path in the area, but the bike path on the Cape does a HUGE amount of traffic, and serves up riders to plenty of businesses on the side. Way more than a RR ever would.
