This architect needs more training.

An expert in electronis, architecture and physics.....Yet he chooses to clean up after after people......THAT'S humility.  We would all to well to take a page from Pacman's book.

 

Give the man credit.... he at least didn't pretend the doctored the picture himself with an X-Acto knife and an Elmer's glue stick to prove his point.

One does not need to be an expert to see such a glaring flaw.  Never assume a railroad track to be inactive.

It's called a setback.  :|

 

Actually, not in this case.  Setbacks are building code regulations contained within the property.  For example, the codified distance between a property line and a structure on that property is considered a setback.  With railroad right of ways, there is no legal distance, per se,  between tracks and structures  - that's determined by the railroad and contained in an easement, a legally binding access agreement held between owners of the railroad and owners of the property adjacent to the railroad.  Under most circumstances, rail lines that close to a building are actually part of the same property (owned by the building's owner) and no easement is required.  In rare instances where active lines are in close proximity to buildings, the easement agreement between the building owner and the railroad determines how far away the structure can be from the rails.
