Wrong. That's not what you said.

It's exactly what I said. You obviously just misunderstood.

You asked about a method that doesn't involve destroying property but that has nothing to do with not trespassing.

No, I asked about a method that doesn't involve anything dangerous and illegal. I used the action of cutting locks with bolt cutters (ie, breaking and entering) as a stand-in for "illegal," climbing heavily dilapidated staircases as a stand-in for "dangerous" (because it could easily break) and a grappling hook partly because of Rule of Three, partly because it stands in for both illegal (trespass) AND dangerous (falling), and partly because it's funny.

Using a part of something to refer to the whole is called a synecdoche, which is part of a set of figures of speech called a metonymy. Not everyone is familiar with those terms, but most people understand the meaning when those figures of speech are used. Except for you, apparently. You need to work on understanding nuance and context.

If there are fences, a hole in the fence answers your question, and if there are no fences, then simply climbing a hill or the like answers your question.

If the method proposed is illegal, then it doesn't answer my question, does it?

But both methods still involve trespassing if you are entering private property that you don't have permission to enter.

The "private property" status of the ROW is still in dispute.

Of course, it's all academic at this point. If certain people had said: "The ROW is still enclosed enough to be private property and is heavily overgrown so the best way would be to try and organise a tour through the Transit Museum" instead of acting like blistering cocktrumpets, then this thread would have remained perfectly civil.

You reay need to learn how to write so that you say what you mean.

My writing is perfectly clear and was perfectly understood by everyone with basic reading comprehension skills. I'm afraid you'll need to work on that— people use figurative language, figures of speech, metaphors, analogies, jokes, and sarcasm all the time. If you take everything completely literally, you simply will not comprehend most writing.

That or stop lying afterwards.

I haven't lied about anything. You just failed to comprehend.
