    Just an FYI, especially if you are to be posting videos for anyone to see... Railways Act 2005. Section 73 Trespass relating to railway (2) A person must not enter any railway infrastructure or railway premises,- (a)in the case of railway infrastructure, without the express authority of the appropriate licensed access provider; and (b)in the case of railway premises, without the express or implied authority of the appropriate railway premises manager. At the moment this is could result in court proceedings, and you would be liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000. Please stay off the tracks, for your own safety.

    And aside that too, the current bridge is irrelevant to the disaster site too. It's upstream from the original. 70 years ago tonight.

    Really stupid thing you did walking on the tracks and the bridge and that "no trespassing" sign is there for a reason and not a decoration. If a train was coming and had to apply emergency braking while on the bridge would put huge amounts of strain on the bridge. If you think it's ok to walk along railway lines then I suggest you go talk to a train driver that has had to go through the unfortunate event of hitting and killing someone that was doing the same stupid thing you just did.

    Yes. Have learnt my lesson and been told off multiple times. I will definitely think before doing stupid things in future. Thanks and no more train tracks for me.
