<p> I´ve just stumbled over this thread and I must say, that I am amazed how vast the difference in treating rail fans is between continental Europe and the US is. In an earlier post, Kiwigerd, has pretty much described the situation you find in most European countries - a much more relaxed attitude based on a little more respect. If there is a sign "Don´t cross the tracks" people just don´t do it and therefore you don´t need anybody special to enforce it.</p><p>Even in communistic East Germany, you were fairly free to move and take pictures, unless you pointed your cameras to trains loaded with army equipment or any other object of strategic importance.</p><p>In Britain, the situation has changed completely, following the bombings in the Subway and a bus in London. Standing at railroad tracks and taking pictures will get you in serious trouble nowadays.</p><p>As you guys over the big pond are celebrating Independance Day today - remember it is the "Land of the Free!" <br></p>
