Best Answer

The main law you would have to worry about is trespassing. Homeland Security has put special restrictions on trespassing on railroad property. There is a rumor that putting a penny on a railroad track could cause it to derail, however, this seems unlikely due to the weight of the train and the friction between the two metals.
