There were 2,755 incidents of trespassing recorded across the East Midlands in 2023-24, including 219 involving children.
It has done so to urge people to stay off the railway and not put others at risk during the school summer holidays.
Hayley Manners, Network Rail’s community safety manager in the East Midlands, said: “Every time someone strays on to the tracks, they are placing themselves at risk of serious, life-changing injury or worse.
“The consequences can be devastating, not only for them, but their loved ones and the wider community.
“Shutting the railway while we investigate reports of trespass also causes costly delays for rail passengers and freight.
“We hope that sharing the CCTV will act as a deterrent and show that acting irresponsibly on the railway is extremely dangerous.”
