The answer: true. Railroad tracks are private property, and you can be charged with trespassing.

It was a great week to champion community safety with #RailSafetyWeek! Thanks to all of our partners for your help in saving lives. #STOPTrackTragedies

Trains extend at least three feet beyond tracks in both directions. That means you don’t even have to be on tracks to be in danger. Follow the link for other pedestrian safety tips from Operation Lifesaver Inc. for #RailSafetyWeek #STOPTrackTragedies https://t.co/VngfuFYWPQ

About every 3 hours, a person or vehicle is hit by a train. Today, Member Homendy spoke at a rail safety event in Elmhurst, IL, to highlight how important it is to be alert around highway-rail grade crossings and to stay off the railroad tracks. #RailSafetyWeek

Grade crossing & trespassing accidents accounted for 96% of all rail-related fatalities last year. Chairman @SenatorWicker introduced a resolution, along with @SenatorCantwell @SenatorFischer & @SenDuckworth, to designate “Rail Safety Week” to spread awareness of rail safety.
