Tom, sad to say that the times have changed a lot since 9/11. Yeah, as a kid I walked the RR tracks hunting for old insulators thrown out when the old telegraph lines were upgraded or dismantled. No one cared. Today... no way no how. The railroads guard their active lines like the vital transportation network they are. Arrests are a matter of course, and much of it done to protect the RR from liability from the idiots who get killed every year being on active tracks. Abandoned lines with no rails or activity, go for it!
