N.Y. Railroad Law § 83: Riding on platform; walking along track

§ 83. Riding on platform; walking along track. No railroad corporation

shall be liable for any injury to any passenger while on the platform of

a car, or in any baggage, wood or freight car, in violation of the

printed regulations of the corporation, posted up at the time in a

conspicuous place inside of the passenger cars, then in the train, if

there shall be at the time sufficient room for the proper accommodation

of the passenger inside such passenger cars. No person other than those

connected with or employed upon the railroad shall walk upon or along

its track or tracks, except where the same shall be laid across or along

streets or highways, in which case he shall not walk upon the track

unless necessary to cross the same. Any person riding, leading or

driving any horse or other animal upon any railroad, or within the

fences and guards thereof, other than at a farm or street or forest

crossing, without the consent of the corporation, shall forfeit to the

people of the state the sum of ten dollars, and pay all damages

sustained thereby to the party aggrieved.
