That group has a good goal, but they seem more than a little fanatical - of all the railroad fatalities I've heard about I can't ever remember one involving a photographer. Usually it is drunken idiots or someone who tries to beat a train across an intersection. Some of them might be trespassing, but others you could probably get legally. They also haven't ascertained whether the tracks are still in use. I know a place near me in Indiana which is part of the rails to trails system. They tore out most of the tracks but left a high bridge, which you can still go to and photograph and the tracks by the bridge are intact. Some friends of mine walked all the way across the bridge, but I chickened out after realizing that there were no railings and it was a 100-foot drop if you stopped paying attention. I should go back this spring - with some photoshopping you could make some interesting images.
