If your life is in danger while doing a job how could you be afraid to say something?
Working on the tracks with out permission from the railroad is just a death wish.
Sounds like the producer here needs a wake up call.
Happened in February. It's bubbled back into the news because the lawsuits are starting to fly. And of course CSX's is being sued for not knowing a movie crew was on location without permission...
Discussed at lenght:

What i find especially idiotic is that they are suing just about anybody who had any connection at all with this movie- even greg allman! This is pure insanity.
This is not only unfortunate and stupid, but most of all criminal!
To keep a job, and to keep a salary, while under duress, is criminal on the part of management and/or ownership!
A friend's son worked for a local large hardware concern and the lad's boss told him to replaced a light bulb, which the lad had to use a platform ladder, to reach the light fixture.
The poor lad was a stock clerk and was not a trained maintenance worker, or a trained electrician, but did what his ******* boss told him to do and wound up dying of electrocution!
After retiring from a municipality, I worked in a retail store and the stock clerks were told to round up the shopping carts in the parking lot during a thunder, lightening and rain storm, problem was that there was about two inches of rain water on the ground, the crew would be exposed to the dangerous, inclement weather and the carts were made of ninety percent metal.
Fortunately we security (fancy word) associates convinced the boss not to send the crew out, at that time.
