Grade crossing are different. They can't ticket you for crossing the tracks at a grade crossing. They could if you carried your bike over the tracks away from a grade crossing.

That's why this guy got a trespass notice instead of a citation or summons. Trespass notices put you on notice that you were on private property without the consent of the owner, even if the property isn't posted. They can now ticket or even have the guy arrested if they see him do it a second time.

Theoretically, at least, this thread is now one big trespass notice, should the railroad find a way to connect ourselves in person to our screen names

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
