So, as it exists now, there is occaisionally a train pulling passenger cars that travel across the South Shore Down embankment. It goes slowly, and sounds a whistle when crossing.

The problem is the proposed 12' asphalt path, 5' high, chain link, safety fence and attendant walkers, runners, bicyclers, & cross country skiers.

I don't know, but just like the water in Lake Winnipesaukee belongs to the people of New Hampshire, the embankment railroad right-of-way does, too. The right-of-way gets leased by South Down Shore. When the lease agreement runs out, couldn't the state decide to just not allow South Down to use the state's embankment? Who own's the embankment?
