<p>[quote user="sandiego"]After reading 120 messages on this I have two things to say:<br /><br />1. Kevin, I know what you are saying, I am ready to give up trainwatching and photography because of the hassles from ignorant clods like the one you ran into. This Hopeless Insecurity BS just gets worse every year, both from LEO and RR, and what's so stupid is that the bad guys can get the photos and information if they want to without anyone ever knowing. Think cell phone cameras for example, everyone has cell phones and no one notices them. How about videocams, two people in a vehicle driving down the street with one videoing, would anyone notice?<br /><br />2. After reading the illiterate rants from railroad employees I am ashamed to say that I was a railroader also, with 25 years of total service and 16 years in TYE. I never had a problem with anyone taking photos if they were off the property, I was photographed many times but so what? If you are doing your job properly you have nothing to worry about. As for ops testing I have probably have a dozen letters stating "on (date), checked on (rule), result (passed, good job)" and I had no idea at the time I that was being tested; same thing do your job properly and you have no problems. <br /><br />As for being photographed at work, I now work for a company locating underground utilities, and I'm out on the street with my reflectorized vest including being near RR tracks at crossings so photo away!<br /><br />Finally, to you RR jerks writing here, if I see something wrong on your train do you think that I will report it? After this, NOT LIKELY!!<br /><br />Kurt Hayek<br />(Not afraid to sign my name)<br /><br /><br />[/quote]</p><p>Must have had a stellar railroad career that you are no longer in the industry.</p><p> </p>
