[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MP57313 To the uninitiated, train-watching rates up there with manhole cover collecting or cataloging of telephone poles. A few years ago I was in the Lone Pine area in California's Owens Valley (east of the Sierras). The old station is still there -- used as a bookstore then. Just south of it, you could still find the old right-of-way. SP had left behind some old rails, tie plates, and other debris. If I took an old rusted tie plate, would that be stealing? I think it would be ... I do not know who the landowner was/is. But in response to the earlier post: if you take something from a junkyard/dump (not a salvage company's lot) is that stealing also? Not so sure there. I have walked along rights of way numerous times in the past but stick to sidewalks/side of the road dirt these days. [/quote] I've found lots of old junk along the tracks, and have always wondered if it would be classified as theft to take it, since, to the RR it is just junk, and wouldn't even consider it loss.
