Riding down that stretch on a bike in the summer it's pretty much guaranteed that someone is gonna step in front of me or bolt out of nowhere, so it's full of people enjoying park space without any consideration for what is going on around them. I can see why a rail safety association would want to see a fence up.
There is too much bile there and too little thinking. As other people pointed out, there is no reason to cross the tracks in the first place. So pretty much everything you say is moot. If we start with no reason to cross the tracks, then we add a four foot iron fence such as the one below we can preserve a nice view of the other side while preventing all accidents and I bolded the word all since anyone crossing that fence is not there by accident but by design.
