Railway lines are permeable, there are level crossings every few
hundred metres, not that we have many fenced lines in Melbourne to
prevent you from crossing them anywhere you please..
Besides, railway lines are only busy twice every 15-40 minutes (when
trains go past), or every 10 minutes if the PT lobby ever gets its
way.. Freeways are busy, noisy and basically impassable except at
(often poorly located) bridges all the time..
