Losing almost all access to Cape Cod side of the canal

[Swimmer]

Listen to MikeP. First of all where are they going to summons you too, railroad court. They don't even have citations to issue, and even if they attempted to make some thier is an extraordinary process that would take years to approve to even get such a document made. No railroad employee that is currently employed by that railroad line has any authority over you, none, nada. On the books are three different chapters and section that commonly pertain too track walking, I.E. tresspassing that valid law enforcement officers can act upon. That only pertains to someone walking along the track right-of-way for some unknown reason. No reasonable person is going to arrest or summons anyone going fishing. Believe me when I say this, I use to run across very intelligent people who thought they could walk, jog, run thier dogs or do anything they pleased along the T tracks in Whitman. Very few were arrested, most were summons to court. Use to have a kid high as a kite every morning race across the track crossing purposely just ahead of the train on his ten speed tempting fate. It took awhile to catch him, but I did. Whenever he did it in front of me the train would pass by and he was gone by the time I could get across the tracks behind him. The train only missed him one day by just a couple of feet. I have also had the pleasure of viewing the bodies of individuals who chose to end thier lives by kissing the train. As long as no one camps, trackwalks, or does anything other than walk across to access your favorite fishing spot I don't believe you'll ever have a problem. But as MikeCC says, it certainly bears watching.
