Careful planning should be taken into consideration if you own property adjacent to a track and plant vegetation. In many cases, I see vegetation that was sheared off square just about 3 inches from the engine windows, which I believe is very generous to the owners of the adjacent property. Railroads will always keep some tabs on vegetation encroachment and have too specific of a budget to go to great lengths to prune trees. On more than one occasion I had to adjust my position on the sides of cars to avoid being wiped right off the ladders during the course of my work, not just here but in many other track territories. Then, people began to encroach to line and plant trees and other items very close and we've even had problems with people putting decking across the tracks to get down to the lake. The problem on the Ithaca secondary is that that line was there before any houses or cottages were in the area. They are very dangerous to us who work on the line. Although they were very healthy willows.and I work that line quite a bit and believe I know where you are talking about.
