There is a draw bridge in the SF Bay Area where the bridge is always up for boat traffic. It is only lowered when a train is coming. Perhaps this is a solution? NH Joe
that works for a place where 2 or 3 trains a day cross........the NS mainline using the cuy. river drawbridge averages over 45-50 trains/day , about 2-3 per hour.....

According to the article Rich Melvin linked to:

"The bridge was in the lowered position for more than two straight hours Wednesday evening, creating a small flotilla of boats, vessels and pleasure craft on both sides of the bridge. In that time period, four trains used the bridge for less than 20 minutes combined."

Sounds like the boaters have a legitimate reason to complain, and NS doesn't have good grounds to stand on.
