Stay off the tracks.
I was terribly saddened to read of the two girls injured while sunning themselves on a train track. I had the distinct displeasure of sitting on a jury about a year ago in a trial where a man was accused of criminal negligence when his son was killed by a train in Warren Maine. I had walked those same tracks in my youth as had a couple of the other jurors. None of us was aware that this was illegal.
It is illegal as well as simply unsafe to walk within the railroad right of way.
Please stay off the tracks. There is no way to win against a train.
