I ride 32mm tires on a touring frame on terrain far rougher than any trail I have encountered made from crushed limestone. I have at times wished for fatter tires to get through rougher sections, but certainly not on a rail-trail. The exception is if it has been a very wet season and the limestone trail is soft, as a fatter tire will tend to float better rather than cut a groove while you ride, and thus roll with less effort.
