Sounds reasonable to mix up dirt roads at a campsite. Idk why the other commenter had to be so uptight. I get the mixup in the lot if it's all paved and smooth, especially if say you make a left into the lot and the rail has a pedestrian crossing first. Shouldn't happen, but there's significant overlap in appearance of the ground. The average driver is amazingly inept, inattentive, and remorseless.
I'd be amused if your lot is the one I know of where the train pulls out of the station, makes a stop for the crosswalk, then proceeds to just one other station.
But the part of rail that's not paved between? That should always be identifiable as a train track. I can't understand when people just send it down the tracks. And yet, it still happens. Even at the station mentioned above where they pulled onto the 100mph section. Unreal.
