[quote user="vlmuke"]After 9/11 many things in the US changed as a former Coastie I can tell you if you are even fishing underneath a bridge it is cause to be questioned and being asked to fish elsewhere,  possibly photographing potenial targets such as bridges refineries and powerplants is DEFINATELY grounds to be questioned and lately rumor has that trains themselves are possible terrorist targets as they carry many types of hazardous and flammible liquids that can easily destroy a city also make it grounds for questioning even though many of you think you have protection from the first amendment you've got to realize the needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few so if you wish to continue photographing trains you need to realize that being questioned by a law enforcement officer is a small price to pay for your hobby and by not cooperating or giving law enforcement officials a hassle can ruin it for everyone and raise suspicion to you and your hobby, and remember freedom of the press applies to printed material and not photography especially since many of you don't publish your photographs and are not members of the press here's an example I went on a tour of a Naval base we were told we can take our cameras but could not take pictures if we were caught taking pictures we would have to hand over the film or if it was a digital camera erase the pictures in front of them if not we would have our camera confinscated and possibly be arrested the same thing applies with the Railroad it is a privilage not a right to take pictures of trains and all it takes is one person not cooperating to have that privilage taken away from everyone[/quote]One word:  CONVOLUTED!
