A good question. It's become such a problem now that Traincrew are encouraged to call the signaller if they are at all suspicious of any staff they see out on the track. It actually made it into the Weekly Operating notices (WONs). The Signallers have a hotline to Nitwit Rail Operations HQ, and it can be checked out quickly.
What's suspicious you may ask - well three blokes with angle grinders is !!
If they're stood next to a load of old scrap rail then it's feasible, but if they're out in the middle of nowhere, you'd be inclined to wonder just what it was they were going to cut up.
