I certainely agree with the above response, I've made the same stupid mistakes my self in the past, just to be able to get that special shot. I realized real quick that the best way to work with our railroads as far as railfanning, is to respect the owner's property, being safe can't be stressed enough. I've been very lucky in the past to be allowed in areas that the public would never get a chance to experience, and in doing so, proved to the RR that I was visiting that I was very capable of being a safe and smart person while on the property. About railfanning in today's times, if you're out there, and see any RR employee, talk with him, let him know what you're doing. I like to usally do some train watching in the evening around Schoolcraft Mich. One night a track gang came back to the little depot from work on the CN main west of there, they saw my car, and I knew right away that they would be suspicous, I went up to them, even before they came to me, I told them that I was just enjoying watching trains and told who I was, they were relived, and even thanked me for keeping a eye on their RR. I was pleased to hear that, it made me feel good about my hobby. The best thing I can think of for today, is to always remain alert, know that you can be watched too, if any police or RR employee talks to you let him know about yourself, above all act in a respectable manner and that will get you a good response. As far as RR info, if terrorrists wanted to do any harm to our RR, they would be able to access a ton of info, such as the nice "Map of the month" in Trains, perhaps this would be a good time hold back giving out info like this. It wouldn't take much for a terror group or any one to really cause easy harm to our RR infrastructure, when they have such good info on hand, I know it's difficult, but maybe for the time being we could keep info like this to oursevles.
