Segments of the railroad bed were offered for sale to the abutting property owners when the railroad stopped operating. Most decided to purchase the abutting segment, converting it to private property.
They have every right to fence in what they own. Perhaps short-term thinking on the Town of Alton's part, but the land owners are completely legal with their fences.
