Im not sure how much of the RR owns but i was there a couple of weeks ago and didnt have any problem. You can see the trains going into the tunnels and the trains coming out of the eastbound tunnel and on the slide.The road is on state land all the way to the bottom near the tracks by the East Portals....don't venture beyond either of the yellow railroad access gates at the bottom though. This road leads down from the top of the East portal overlook where the old "$10,000 fine-no dumping sign' used to be and that sign was replaced with a state gameland commision sign. The road was regraded and repaved with crushed stone about a year ago, and a wide 'parking area' created about 3/4 of the way down the road for hunters to park their vehicles. The State bought the land on the North side of the tracks between Tunnelhill and Bennington Curve back around the year 2000.
