it was taken of a standard gage un-electrified line on a unmarked unguarded crossing, the line is very striate at this pint and you can see in both directions for at least a mile. I had two observers with me to watch out for trains even though you have good visibility and I could of easily took the shot on my own, in any case I hope on to the crossing put the camera which I had preset and took the picture and hoped off was. I was there for less 30 seconds ! but thanks for your concern

Ah I see. Yes I can tell the permanent way was non-electrified due to the absence of a third electric rail or overhead live wires, so that wasn't my main concern. My one concern was whether or not it was on a public crossing of any denomination, as there is no evidence of such a location in the shot that we see here, which post questioning is of merit. The one thing the UK and probably most other countries with rail systems of whatever size have is trespass, or unauthorised access to railway land other than on a level/pedestrian crossing or a station platform. Closed lines are a grey area, as they see no traffic obviously, but are still technically railway land or private land if sold off by the railway. Obviously though, none of that happened here, but I do like to be vigilant to try and prevent it happening.
