Uh oh, someone put "scare quotes" around the word warning... those sarcastic sign makers... lol
I know there are signs along the Iron Horse somewhere, or maybe they are just in Vic Park but they say something along the lines that the park is closed between 11pm and 6am, as all city parks are technically closed. I guess bylaw could write you a ticket for being there but I imagine it is mostly a CYA thing in case someone trips and falls in the dark. I believe the CoK was using this as an excuse/defense when that man died after riding into the barriers that used to block the railway in Vic Park. I'm not privy to the details of that case and settlement and it's just conjecture on my part.
Is there any plan for fencing along the spur line? The downtrail trail in Guelph runs along a similar low speed low use stretch of track and they have a fence the entire length of the trail.
