Not if you have permission and have the full co-operation of the railways! My father was a railway employee for over 50 years I was raised in tied railway cottages throughout most of my childhood and up until my early 20's

 

I still have permission on some of the live railway network and other railway properties, but there are strict guidelines and procedures in place mainly relating to health and safety!! eg: obviously you can't have dog's running loose on a busy main branch line

Also illigal to kick ,crush or stab any animal. And illegal to release a caught animal to dogs. Without permission you open a right can of worms, if your useing dogs you're in breech of the hunting act, if you're carying a knife your in breech of the knife laws,not to mention trespass and poaching.
