Unless you are lucky most freight will probably move at night in an urban corridor. <br />A lot of freight (switching) happens "as required". <br />You have a great opportunity to teach your daughter to be safe around trains... may seem over-the-top but if she learns once she will stay safe - "get 'em young"! <br />You need to stay safe and legal around switch movements... both to stay safe and to stay popular with switch crews... stay popular and they will tell you when they are around... may even phone you to tell you when they are in town if they get to really like you... let them get the idea... they have work to do (but we can all be friendly with the right encouragement). <br />You might even get help from the factory with the right positive/safety conscious approach. <br />If you can afford it get a scanner... you'll know everything that's going on and where then. This will be a great toy for both you and your daughter. (Someone tell us the frequencies for this area please???) <br /> <br />If you know the RR you could try writing/e mailing their PR dept and/or their "Operation Life Saver" to get their advice on safe railfanning, train times and maybe trade some good-will/PR with the community... maybe help them get a link with your local school(s)... maybe that's in a couple of years... Little girls can be great copy for local papers and good PR... (Let them think of it and with enough good will you might (that's <u><i>MIGHT </i></u>) get a cab ride... <br /> <br />You mean they don't all contain ice cream?![:O]
