That made me smile... Yes, they're closed for a reason, and it's utterly silly to try to gamble what the conditions beyond a closure may be in order to save a minute or two.
I can't understand the people who actually walk or jog along the tracks, either. What's the point? On the Spur Line, some people still walk along the tracks even though there's this beautiful newly-paved path just for them to use. Yes, I get it that trains are only there overnight, but why do these people not make it their best practice to just never be on train tracks? What's the appeal?
