It´s a misdemeanor in Germany as well, to stand on, walk on, or cross
the tracks, so as long as the photographer stands away of the tracks,
far enough for his own security, it should be no problem (don´t try the

Only fines, as long as one didn´t interfere with RR operations

the enthusiasts to circle the train and to take close ups of the engine.
Thanks for your explainations.
