[quote user="henry6"] Law enforcement official on private property?  Doubt it for several reasons. First, it would be tresspassing and also not of thier juristiction.  Secondly, liability...to and from the railroad and to and from the enforcment agency's authority.  Third, there probably was a lot more that the law enforcement agency had on its hands.  [/quote] I can’t imagine that any of these points would or should prevent the police from taking action in an emergency.  Suppose the police were there at the crossing concluding that the washout was serious enough to threaten a train, and a train suddenly appeared on the horizon.  What should they do in that case?    If it were me in that case, and if I had a fusee in my car, there is no question about what I would do if I saw a train approaching from a significant distance.  And I would not worry about trespassing.
