People shouldn't be walking on the tracks, yes.
But people need to walk across the tracks.
Just a fact of life.

Yes.
That can be a walking distance of up to one mile to cross the tracks anyway.
Not happening.
You're still crossing active train tracks.
Some places as many as 4 sets of train tracks.

Lots of former tracks around here have become "Rail Trails." They keep very busy. I think it's amusing that so many people drive to a parking lot so they can walk.

I used to live in Flagstaff, AZ, and it seemed that a train would go thru the middle of town about every hour. They were short but fast. I remember seeing ... clean up crews ... a couple times a year.

There are several US town where trains go - literally - right through town, and cars and people have to move out of the way.

Just a suggestion. Don’t walk on railroad tracks.
Yes, the steps are too far apart, and the handrails are too low!
