Tracks and the area around them, called the rail corridor, are for trains only. Its very dangerous for any person to go near the tracks, and it's also against the law. Railway tracks are just over a meter wide, but the trains can be three times as wide. That means a train hangs over each side of the track by almost a meter, sometimes even more. So it's not enough just to be clear of the track: you have to make sure you stay well away.
