[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Limitedclear</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Freedom Rider</i> <br /><br />As a railroad employee I have seen and heard of some railfans doing thing that were just increadable. <br /> <br />One was caught on a stored unit striping equipment, another was seen ( on camera) running around the out bound, jumping in frount of moving trains and taking pictures then jumping out of the way at the last minute. <br /> <br />And those are just two examples of the stuff that goes on around here. <br /> <br />And you know what? <br />When the police caught up with those two, they didn't even think they were doing anything wrong and couldn't understand why they were being charged with anything. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I was a conductor riding a shove a few years back and came around a bend on the very active running track, in the middle of an area with a siding next to me with cars in it and two main tracks on the opposite side, in the midst of a good sized yard complex used by three railroads, the other side only to encounter a fan with his tripod set up in the gauge taking photos of a visiting steam engine. Needless to say we had to come to an abrupt stop and the fan was escorted to the local police station by RR police for booking. <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />does anybody know what the fines or penalties are for tresspassing or other infractions? (obviously varying with state or province, but in general)
