Rail officials have urged people to stay away from train tracks after two cyclists were filmed posing for photos on a high-speed level crossing.
CCTV at Calcot Mill crossing near Reading captured the couple walking on to the tracks so one could take a photo of The Other on 26 August.
Network Rail said the footage followed a " concerning rise" in The Number of trespass reports on The Western route.
The Two People were reported to British Transport Police (BTP).
The Crossing in Holybrook Linear Park sees around 130 trains per day travelling between Cornwall and London Paddington, according to route level crossing manager Richard Pedley.
He Said : " It is crucial that The Level crossing is only used as a means of getting across The Railway and under no circumstances should people loiter or play on crossings and put their lives At Risk . "
Network Rail said the majority of incidents on The Line had happened near stations or level crossings, and said Gloucester, Cheltenham, Trowbridge, Bridgwater, Plymouth and Bristol were hotspots.
It warned people of the risks of trespassing on train tracks, including being struck by a train or possible electrification.
