I'm very baffled as to what the point of this thread is. Who exactly is saying that railfanning is Un-American? <br /> If this is a complaint about stepped up railroad security, well, all I can say is live with it. The railroads have some very real security concerns right now, which are unlikely to go away anytime soon...... <br /> Perhaps a history lesson, railroad and otherwise is in order. During the Second World War many transportation assets, including railroad facilities, were classified as sensitive installations and guarded accordingly. Believe it or not, you could actually get in trouble for photographing them. But people understood the need to protect the country. I very much doubt that you would have found many railfans complaining about how their rights were being violated back then(but then there was no internet). The fact is we are in a wartime situation right now, and not just with Iraq, I think reasonable security precautions are something we must all be understanding of. Think of it as a patriotic sacrifice in support of the war effort...........................
