I'm not a railroader, just an railfan so I may not completely understand some things, BUT, Why would anyone need to get anywhere within 50 feet of a track?? Even the cheap cameras need that much distance to get just one engine or car. <br />I spent the summers at my Grandmas house and she had the twice daily Prineville Railroad crossing her property. Even as a kid I knew better than to be on the tracks or anywhere near them (the engineer knew every kid along the right of way and whos house to visit if we did something stupid). <br />As for signage, it can be uninformative. We live in Wichita KS now and just south of town the BNSF main parralles K-15 about 150' away, until a kid on an atv got hit by a hi-speed southbound (trying to jump the track) I really don't think anyone knew the entire strip of dirt and grass was ATSF/BNSF property, eneryone thought it was state/county property. The "No Tresspassing" signs ran along the ballasted edge of the track. It's always been a real good, and we thought "safe" place, to park and watch trains, especilally the "plane train" taking Boeing 737s to Washington. Well long story shortened up a little. 1- Use a good lens and stay off the tracks. 2- Trains are bigger than you, don't care who has the right of way, and can't stop. <br />3- Get in the way and die!
