On my way in this morning, another cyclist (on a sweet Velo Orange build) and I passed a CSX worker standing by the train tracks that are frequently used by cyclists, joggers, etc. to cross from Panther Hollow over to the Junction Hollow Trail, the run, etc. The CSX worker was counting cyclists. The good news is he had apparently counted 30 or so! The bad news is he was doing it in order to report back to CSX legal for justification for putting up a big fence that would prevent crossing the tracks in the future.

Interestingly, while it’s not official or anything, google maps will even route you over this crossing. Still, it seems like CSX is intent on doing something to close this crossing permanently, in the near future.

Anyway, we can always dream of some kind of overpass or tunnel being built here, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
