So lets not call it "public property" it's a "Railroad Right of Way" that is owned by the state and is off limits to the public.

That must make it very difficult for the people of South Down to access their boats without breaking the law by trespassing. Do they just hop over it?

They have grade crossings that give them access to the water. I'm 99% certain all grade crossings have to be documented and approved by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) before one can be installed, so their crossings are all legal. If people are not using the designated crossings, then yes they are trespassing.

No, they use the easement granted for access.

Only in the areas where grade crossings have been installed.

I couldn't find a picture related but found one that's Similar. Note the sign.
