Yes, I was worried that section would officially no longer be a trail and that they might do something stupid like pave it with triangular blocks (pointing up) to discourage use, or even more stupid, put a gate across it (which of course would have to be opened precisely whenever a train is actually going to go through). But instead we have a pretty reasonable setup. My only nit is that this would be a perfect application for flangeway fillers. I understand one can install rubber boots that actually fill the flangeway but depress when the train goes through. Since bicycles need to travel parallel to the tracks here, that would be a nice feature. Overall though, nicely done.
