Has railfanning ever taken you into unsafe neighborhoods?

<p>Back in '95 I flew to Champaign, IL and then drove from there to Monticello to photograph the exquisite Wabash F7A the Monticello Railroad Museum maintained. While in Champaign I drove to the IC's yard and about half-way there I started figuring it was a bad idea. I got there, the yard management let me on the grounds with just a suggestion to be careful and stay in-sight of the office, and I got out of the neighborhood OK, but it sure was scarey. Gangs hangin' on the street corners all over, cars with their windshields busted-out, prostitutes wandering the streets (one came-up to my window and all I wanted to do was get a green signal to get off that intersection) - not nice. I felt safest in the yard.</p>
