We just lost 50% of the access to the Cape Cod Canal

[mikecc]

I just wanted to let every one know a 65 year old customer and his girlfriend was issued a trespass order from Cape Rail Inc for crossing the train tracks, to go to his fishing spot. This means the only access to the entire cape side of the Canal is The Sagamore /Basin access or Bell Rd.

I'll I have to say is Cape Rail you Suck

[BigFish]

Exactly my thought Larry

[BigFish]

Chance encounter I am guessing! They will not be standing there every minute of every day!!

[texican]

They will be eating my canal cruiser dust . But they might get me when I stop for some oxygen .

Amtrak did the same thing here in CT along the Connecticut river. There are a couple places where the only way to access the river is to park and walk across the tracks. They put up no parking signs where the fishermen would park and no trespassing signs along the track. I know it was a big to-do back when it went up about 6 o7 years back, now no one even talks about it. Not sure what came of that as I never really fished the spots that were effected.

I fish many spots that require crossing the tracks. This is pretty silly.

My daughter had to go to court as a teen for trespassing on railroad tracks. It's a big deal. Was going to go on her adult record, but our lawyer worked the strings. I still get really pissed when I think of it. The cop who wrote her up lived around the corner. You can guess what I think of that POS.
The world is being taken away from the common man, everything is illegal these days and everything belongs to corporations. We need to protet this, 5-6 hundred people need to cross the tracks on film for the 6 o'clock news with their middle digits raised. Help me Hank!!

[BigFish]

Just keep on fishin'!

[cableguy]

unreal...next there will no parking signs lining the canal on that side....with us getting the tickets, thats how they will do it....it just keeps getting tougher year after year.....

[BigFish]

Lose more access and see if I "register" to fish next season...."F" em all!

It is a big deal.......I agree with you and this is not good......one ?...the citation listed wareham as place of incident not bourne....the canal does not go through wareham?????/

I have to frequently cross tracks here in Conn. I think the only time they ticket is if someone got too close to a train and the conductor complainted. Hopefully, there won't be many tickets given out.

[PRBuzz]

The train only crosses the canal 2X per day, correct? Anyone really know?

It is a big deal, how many people get killed walking on , playing on, or crossing tracks.

i'd wager none were fishermen

[Joe]

De-rail their plans.

[robc22]

I just learned the alleged violation took place in the town of wareham.....NOT along the canal...........

[Green Light]

OMG. I no believe. Really. I no believe. Unreal. What's next, a clean air tax?

[gone fishin]

Unbelievable -- I can not imagine what they will do on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when the cyclists and runners use the canal road. There are more people crossing those tracks in an hour than cars crossing over the Bridge! This could be another nail in the access for all denial process.

Podgurski is one of the owners of CCRR...... See 2006 entry. Time to publicize this incident, just ahead of their "season." I could think of a few bumper sticker slogans.....

Same tracks and they said they will enforce in the same manner.
When contacted the police they told me that the RR is well with in their rights to enforce the trespass order.
