To be abandoned? Active rail line threatened by bike path - Save the Falmouth Secondary Rail Line

https://masscoastal.com/savecaperail/ Template email: Save the Falmouth Secondary Rail Line I am writing to support the preservation and continued operation of the MassDOT Falmouth Secondary Rail Line in Bourne and Falmouth, MA. This rail line is an essential resource for Cape Cod and Massachusetts that needs to be retained for current and future uses. Rail transportation is the most efficient way to move heavy freight long distances and is also the answer to reducing traffic on the canal bridges. Without the line truck traffic will increase on Cape Cod and the option for future passenger service will be eliminated. A compromise with the trail group can be made making the path a rail with trail option where the trail runs alongside the rail. Removing the line for a bike path is an extremely shortsighted proposal that will have immediate and long term negative effects on Cape Cod and Massachusetts as a whole.
