I have had two run ins with security over rail fanning since November. Let me say this: I never ever trespass. I always am very obvious about what I'm doing, I don't hide the camera or pretend to be interested in anything but the railroad action. If one of the crew comes over and asks what I'm doing, I tell them and offer to show them the pictures if they want, and if they like, I'll delete stuff that they want me to (I use a digital camera). I carry cards with my name, address, e-mail, telephone and cell phone, and offer them one. If they see me doing something they prefer I didn't do, I tell them (if they have a cell phone) to call me and I'll clear out. Or, if they think it best, I'll clear out right now, and thanks for watching out for me, sorry to have been a bother. In thinking it over, I'm not going to post the details, I'm afraid it will get me in trouble. In general, I was threatened with a gun, and told to cooperate immediately or get shot. The second incident, the cop told me not be be found around railroads again, and that if I was, I could expect to be in prison for a long time. In each case, the cop was not in uniform, didn't show me a badge, and I didn't want to ask what law enforcement they worked for. One doesn't argue with a man holding a gun. I miss railfanning.
