Ask if they have the original plans of the railroad ROW on file. In jurisdictions that have land records filed by county those plans are usually available. If they don't have them, they can tell you where to find them. Railroad plans were usually filed in the mid to late 1800s. They would show the width. We have them readily available in Massachusetts either at the Registries of Deeds or filed with the various county highway records. In my area. I have seen them range from one to three rods wide.

Yes. It happens all the time. The are many people who are struck by railroad trains every year. Some are in cars and some are walking on the tracks or near the tracks when something on the tracks is hit by a train and flies off and hits them. Some are killed by falls off railroad bridges and trestles. Alcohol is often a factor . Some few are killed while they are passengers or stowaways on a train.
