This is some of the most beautiful scenery in the state. It is absolutely unbelievable to me that Alaska Railroad is able to lock it up. Miles and miles of gorgeous coast line, forbidden  to the very residents of the state??? Not allowed to leave the roadway, and dip our toes in the water, or climb the rocks?  How was this even allowed to begin with, that the railroad should be allowed to build a rail there?

I absolutely understand the position of the railroad. I hear their concerns. And YET, there must be some concession in this case somehow. It is beautiful, majestic scenery unlike any other. People WILL be drawn to it, and should be allowed to experience it!

If that experience includes getting flattened or cut in two on a railroad track, well... all the better for the gene pool I suppose.
