On the railways of Russia I saw plenty of signs warning against walking on the tracks, but it appears that nobody pays any attention to them.
Walking through the middle of a railway yard? Check!
Walking across the tracks, while more interested in your mobile phone? Check!
Herding goats along the tracks? Check!
Standing on the tracks as a train passes on the other track? Check!
Even racing the train with a snowmobile? Check!
Must admit I’ve done a bit of walking across the tracks on the railways of Poland.
In the backblocks of Moscow I did the same thing across freight tracks.
