Before you go

Read the safety guide first — anywhere in the world.

Trespass rules vary by country; the danger does not. The safety page covers platforms, lineside paths, crossings, local emergency numbers and what to do when something goes wrong.

Know a spot we are missing — anywhere?

Add it with a photo, the access notes and the best time — every submission is checked against local public-access rules.

Add what you saw.

A photo, a tip or a logged observation builds the record for everyone.
