I suggest that you talk to some of the other persons that have tried this
and ended up in hospital with serious injuries.
What you suggest is not only illegal but extremely dangerous in many
locations due to track removal, land movement and barbed wire across the
tracks in many places.
It is not as simple as you put it.
