The FRA has the authority to issue citations and fines for person's trespassing on the railroad, doesn't mean that they are going to take the time to enforce it on fisherman, their interest is mostly with contractors. railroad tracks are private property and you are required to cross them at designated crossings, not historic or convenience crossings. This is probably just the railroad or operator taking efforts to protect themselves from liability. Someone gets hit by a train and killed and their family could sue saying the track was unmarked and it was assumed abandoned.
i was doing a rr bridge inspection out in fitchburg and saw a woman and her 5 year old crawl under a parked freight train rather than walk around. people do stupid stuff on railroad tracks.
