Trains are funny things- I'm told they sound a lot like tornadoes, although those seem to NEVER sneak up on people. [ponder]

"It's my impression that railroads in England must fence their right of way."

Only since the 1845 Railways Act! Prior to that they may have been unfenced (before my time...)

I think that this applies to 'land designated as a railway' since any land that has been a railway has to be un-designated before it isn't a railway. So even if there are no rails, you can be fined for trespassing on the railway. This type of trespass is a criminal offence, not a civil one, in England.

Current penalty £1000 ($ 1220)

The French high speed TGV lines originally had some level crossings but these were removed and replaced with bridges / underpasses.
 
Trespassing on a railway when there is no railway.

Is there an enhancement for silly walks?

"Your crime has been enhanced." "No, that's a bad thing, for you."
