Wellingborough, 1898. A porter's trolley fell off the platform onto the
track. Instead of running to the signalbox to stop trains, two railway
employees tried to shift it. They failed, the express was derailed,
and five people and two staff were killed.

It's an electric line. He had the power turned off before going onto
the track. So unless you're positing time-travel-related accidents, I'm
afraid your risk is purely imaginary.
