Let's face it
You either like trains
Or you don't
And if you do
There seems to be no risk you wouldn't take
No authority you wouldn't challege
Just to take a closer look
You'd think they have something better to do with their brushes and paint
Just because you want to watch the trains go by at close quarters
But remember
Trespassers will be prosecuted
You cannot be bribed
