I too have mixed emotions on this issue. In fact until reading the article "IS BEING A RAILFAN UNAMERICAN" just today, I have not given any thought to security problems vs. railfans. Just a few months ago, I stopped to photograph a blue and silver GM EMD demonstrator lashed up with a couple of UP's. The train was stopped. I pulled over on the shoulder of the two lane country highway, got out of my truck, camera in hand and spoke to the engineer as he walked down the track. He was cordual and answered a couple of questions. He saw me take several photos with no visable or verbal concerns. He got back in his loco....I got back in my truck and drove off. So is the UP not as alarmed about people taking photos of their trains? I beleive I will ask them.
