>Uh, Doc Z in your statement you were pretty clear that you felt that ANY bike path next to ANY RR was a "poor" idea.

I specifically said it was a poor idea with any active railroad, which includes the NCRy, and you're right I'm straightforward about it, as is the FRA, who frowns on the practice with active RRs. The RR operating craft unions are in agreement with the FRA because it's so difficult to fix stupid.

However a set of fencing a distance standards have been developed for situations with active RRs. A RR which has been torn up with the R/W converted to a bike trail isn't a problem at all because there are never any trains around to crush the bicyclists nor cut them in half.
