Slow moving 9-mph, rubber tired trolley buses would function similar to the existing Winnipesaukee Railroad, and could co-exist with pedestrians, runners, and bicyclists on a 12'-wide 'trail' that's built to replace the demolished railroad steel tracks and wood ties.

So, that makes a 12' 'trail' a multi-purpose plan that will accommodate both the trolley riders and the people powered foot traffic and bicyclists.

Over the course of the Wow Trail route, there are numerous areas where a wider 15' rail trail can be built that makes it a little more accommodating for the pedestrians and trolley to share the road.

With a railroad train, the tracks cannot be shared with anyone, and indeed as it is private property, the abutting residents are quick to call the police on unknown, incoming, track walkers.

The railroad track is not so much a railroad track, but is much more a 'no trespassing', safety buffer line for home owner security.

When local residents say "we love the Winnipesaukee Railroad" ..... what they really mean is that they love it as a line of private property with no trespassing, and they basically have control over who gets to walk across, or along the track.

"It's our way, it's not your way!"

"Hey Rene, there's an incoming boogie out on the tracks, about 250-yards south down ..... better call the cops!"
