Operation on Active Railroads Railroad Crossing

Railroad corridors with rails in place are closed to your use unless posted open.

The Bureau of Trails works closely with the Bureau of Rail and Transit and the operating railroads to provide a unique opportunity during the winter months when the railroads are not operating.

Per RSA 215-A:6
No person shall operate an OHRV within the limits of any railroad right of way where the rails are still intact unless otherwise posted, except in any emergency pursuant to the provisions of RSA 215-A:9, VII; provided, however, an OHRV may be driven upon the right of way of any railroad for a crossing of the tracks at their intersection with an authorized trail, road or highway where an OHRV is not otherwise prohibited. Any person violating the provisions of this paragraph shall be guilty of a violation for the first offense and shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for any subsequent offense.

When in doubt, stay off!
