We don’t need the rail line; we’ll just move cannons with bicycles! Thank you for the video, it’s great how you’re advocating for a great cause: saving a beneficial rail line. I can’t believe the people that want to rip these rails up so they can have a bike ride. Save the F2!

Thank you for this update! Any update is important, big or small. It’s great to hear that Mashpee is speaking up with common sense and supporting the Falmouth secondary. I hope that some of these upper Cape towns go back to shipping their trash by train.The Bourne bikeways people are following the Falmouth bikeways playbook of 20 years ago by dishing out lies and disinformation hoping that the uninformed will believe it.

In 1999, 101 engineer battalion of the mass army national guard shipped 18 car loads of engineer equipment to fort irwin california and return. I helped with loading on both ends. Pete Wilswon

Bring back trains 🚆 😊

Insane

This railline needs to stay for good. This railroad has to stay. I like this railroad.

Thanks for the update

Let's hope that daily passenger service will come to the Cape in '24. Who know's maybe the Cape lines will be extended one day! Let's hope all the citizens of the Cape will wise up and realize what a blessing and vital asset their railroad lines! I hope new freight customers will materialize on the Cape too!

Those rail-trail people are ridiculous ...and liars as well! Can we get bike and pedestrian trails right next to their properties?

Wow! The bike people need to learn to cooperate. Again railroads can make bike trails too. There is a biodegradable spray made in ohio moved by rail to make ecofriendly new bike trails. That company did paths in Colorado I think Gundry Granby around George town. Product Used for roads.. military spaces.. airports....et al I agree with Eisenhowers strategic movements. Or the really historic union line. These anti-rail people are not very bright. Asphalt is antiquated carbon based. They also are creating carbon free concrete material type substances too. Thanks

Great video and excellent factual debunking of the Trail supporters' narrative and arguments. I understand the Trails argument, getting rid of dirty, loud trains for a nice recreational path. I get the argument, I completely disagree, but I can understand the point of view. What I find frustrating is the erroneous and, dare I say, disingenuous case that they make for removal of the rails, at least what is on their webpage. Their projections of folks forgoing their cars to commute via the trail are as ludicrous as their dismissal of the rail line's impact on truck traffic, and I cannot believe that the authors are unintentionally that wrong. Thankfully, common sense appears to be prevailing.

This is mind boggling to me. The original reasoning behind rail to trail, at least in my state, was to preserve abandoned rail right of way from development that would make it impossible to re-develop the rail infrastructure if needed. I hate that our governments underfund bike infrastructure so much that advocates of rail infrastructure and advocates of bike infrastructure are pitted against each other for naught but the scraps. Absolutely disgraceful.

Rail With Trail

I told one of our representatives what's happening right now

Great video. This proposal is absolutely ridiculous. This is why i stopped supporting most Rails to Trails projects. When they started going after active lines and volunteer run scenic railroads that was about it for me. These trail groups have destroyed so many rail lines in the past 10 years, most of them on state owned track. It seems they always have some bogus reasons why rail with trail is not feasible. I am tired of political interest groups getting on board with these people, because then they look for every nonsense reason to force the railroad out. There are quite a few examples of this B.S happening all over the country, especially when county executives who don't like railroads are involved. It seems like these people and their stupid groups form vendettas against railroads and run them into the ground. Any way, great video and keep them coming.

any updates about this?
