It isn't necessary to be on railroad property since you can get excellent photos from the grade crossing. However, because there are multiple tracks involved, I always make sure that where I'm standing is a safe location before I shoot. Remember the first sentence in the Rules for Conducting Transportation: "Safety is of the FIRST importance in the discharge of duty" (Caps mine). The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it.
