It seems like the real issue is that a compromise is needed. On one hand, I sympathize with the SDS types who don't want a fence, but on the other hand, the train was there well before SDS. If I was buying lakefront property for the views, I would be very concerned that a strip of land I don't own is between me and the water.
As another poster said, there must be a better way to keep kids, etc. from running onto the tracks without installing an eyesore.
