According to what Mike posted on the Cape Cod Tackle Facebook page, the notices were issued to cars parked on "6A 100 yards south of Ace Crossing".

I have no idea where Ace Crossing is. I do know that the railroad doesn't own a square inch of property 100 yards south of the tracks anywhere along the Canal.

I wonder whether the guys who issued it don't know south from east or west?

Also--Sandwich Road is not Route 6A. Route 6A branches left at the fork by the old Irving station and John's Capeside Diner in Sagamore--that's Cranberry Highway. The road that branches right and continues along the Canal is Sandwich Road.

The railroad's right of way can't possibly extend 100 yards south of the tracks anywhere. The road is less than 20 yards from the tracks in many places. The parking area at Portagee Hole has a guardrail that was not put there by the railroad--it was either put there by the Town of Bourne or Mass Higways.

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