Trespassing
If you trespass in the rail corridor you're putting yourself at risk of electrocution or being struck by a train. Your actions can put the safety of rail customers and Queensland Rail employees at risk, and cause delays to rail services.
Types of trespassing:
- Unintentional (retrieving dropped items such as a ball, phone, or keys)
- Convenience (walking off a platform end to engage in short-cutting)
- Anti-social behaviour (damage to property, placing obstacles on track)
- Graffiti – paint graffiti or ‘tag name’ onto fences, trains and property
- Accessing the corridor illegally (jumping fences, through holes cut into fences, scaling the outer overhead bridge structure)
- Recreation – engaging in acts for entertainment (running across or jumping down onto the track or train surfing).
With more than 12,000 CCTV cameras on the network, a dedicated team of Queensland Police Railway Squad Officers, Authorised Officers and Security Guards, the odds of getting caught are high.
