[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Junctionfan as long as we railfans are armed with cameras and not bombs or bazookas, what the heck is their beef with the free advertising? Surely by now the railroads would know the difference between honest decent railfans and terrorist scum. [/quote] If only it was so simple. Unfortunately, the train bombers in Spain didn't show up with bombs & bazookas slung over their shoulders and a big name tag that said "Hi, I'm Terrorist Scum." Apparently they looked just like honest, decent passengers with knapsacks. Otherwise, someone would have noticed and many lives could have been saved. It's not reasonable to expect railroads to place a greater value on the negligable "advertising" value of railfans over the safety of their passengers, crew & property. Hopefully, this world will become a somewhat more sane place in the future. Wayne
