    True, and if they're abandoned, that's a different story. But abandoned and inactive are not the same. The Rockland Branch was "inactive" from the time of the last Maine Central train until the Maine...

    Actually, all of yours I've seen so far didn't look to be in "bad spots," but the one I was concerned about specifically mentions crossing a trestle. I contacted the cacher, and they replied this...

    While I can't presently quote chapter and section from state law, a road/private drive/trail/path/whatever should really only cross a track "at a place provided for that purpose." There are numerous...
