The 5 foot high fence is a Fed DOT requirement. It is meant to keep the people using the WOW trail away from the train using the state-owned rail bed. I understand the DOT is very rigid on this safety-related directive.

In other such applications, walkway tunnels and in a few cases walkway bridges have been constructed to provide access.
