I agree, it com,es down to if there is legal access along the tracks or not, and I would also some day be there when a train or two goes by and see HOW fast they run thru the area
some places they go pretty slow and are a LOT risk deal, some places trains can be going VERY VERY fast and are a higher risk

HERE In PA< almost al railroad beds are still owned by railroad company's and almost ALL are posted to trespassing, but NOT all, some are actually converted to walking trails, even NEAR and next to active railroads(an example will be thru
Jim Thorpe area, there are walking/bike trails next to active tracks, but trains go pretty SLOW thru this area and they even do train tours so can ride trains too)
I live near several active and abandoned train tracks, and the railroad company's patrol BOTH often, they have atv's and trucks and jeeps they use here, and fines can be higher than you think!

so I would check to see if access to the tracks is even legal before proceeding with this idea!
