Petition to get a trail open again

No, basically the trail(an active rail bed that closes in the winter) was lost due to the train company switching insurance companies and the new company wouldn’t allow sleds due to some wording by the state from what I’ve heard. I guess the areas clubs ended up getting a state rep to change this wording by the state and since that has happened it’s just been constant delays and excuses to allow it to reopen. The trail was in the monadnock trail breakers area and they lost this major north/south corridor 13 route and also their other main west/east trail got shut down the same year due to a land owner issue I believe so they basically had no trails left and called it quits. I circled the area in the map above corridor 13 use to connect Wilton to Antrim. It land locked a bunch of clubs south because that trail was/is the only way north. This all happened around the time I moved to this area I wanna say around 20/21 and it’s been on going since.

Here is the info from the petition if you hadn’t seen it.

The Issue
I am sure you all know that we have had an issue on the trail system in Bennington, NH. Out of nowhere, the Railroad Bridge going to Alberto’s was gated off year-round for the past five years. Sadly, about 8 years ago the Hillsborough Nightriders put new decking across the bridge at the request of the State. Every year we hear more excuses as to why it is not open! The latest excuse was the paperwork stalled out on someone’s desk at DOT. This is obviously not true; no one takes a year to sign something. I, myself, have reached out to the State offering my club’s help to pay for any repairs necessary or any test necessary to get this open. When we did the redecking, we used heavy equipment and at that time we drove a 5-ton wrecker across it with a load of pressure treated lumber that was the old school test!
So, no more excuses!! The snowmobilers of New Hampshire want that corridor to be reopened for this winter season. The railroad bed leads all the way to Massachusetts and in the past has had enormous amounts of traffic. Unfortunately, since this has been closed, the snowmobile club located in the Greenfield area, the Monadnock Trail Breakers, has folded up when their trail system went no where from gating this Bridge! That being said, my club, the Hillsborough Nightriders, will take over grooming to the Greenfield State Park and further if necessary. I will be sending this letter to all the State agencies whom it concerns as well as News and social media.
We, the Snowmobilers of New Hampshire, expect no more delays in this matter. Please stop by Livingston’s at 136 Henniker Street in Hillsboro, to sign a petition in favor of opening this trail up that we can submit to the state.
Thank you for your support.

Yes we do.
The Republican party can't put forth a good candidate to save their lives and as it turns out, the Democrats can't either.

Pulled the clutch off the Polaris today. The weight bushings were in great shape surprisingly after 3500 miles. They would probably be good for another season.
