I've been reading the posts here for the first time. I just read on a couple of web sites that even if your not on railroad property, you will be questioned. Seems that a guy in greenville tx. which is right down the road from where I live, was photographing trains on the KCS in greenville. He took pictures then moved on to farmersville, about 13 miles away. Set up and waited for the train. When the train passed the conductor called the yard in wylie tx. to report a suspicious individual taking photos. He heard them on the scanner, but continued to lavon tx.set up again, and had the engineer flip him the finger. It wasn't a thunbs up! anyway the crew got his license plate number. his wife called him to say that a railroad official had just called the house. he got the number from her then called the official back. the railroad asked him to stop taking photos of their trains. Also read about problems aroun the tower 55 area in ft.worth. a guy had the police, and the f.b.i. show up on him, even though he had railroad mags in the back seat the police still didn't believe him when he told them what he was doing! All this kinda sucks, I dont have expensive equipment, but just got a used camcorder. GUESS I WONT GET TO USE IT! In my other activity , skateboarding there is a saying [use a skate go to prison] I guess the same will apply to railfanning too. JEZZ! I JUST CANT FIND AN ACCEPTIBLE HOBBY OR ACTIVITY!!! MIKE
