About eleven years ago, I'd stay up late, and watch the midnight Amtrak train to Northern California arive and depart from the Rio Grande station in Salt Lake City. I'd chat with some of the passengers waiting to get on the train, while some express boxcars were dropped off, and the engines were refueled. While I'm sure the people I talked to wondered why I was up at that time in the morning, but none of the Amtrak employees bothered me. They knew I was there, but left me alone, as I stayed visible (i.e. under the floodlights) at all times. In fact, the only time I was approached by an Amtrak employee, was when the train was getting ready to leave, and I was mistaken for a passenger! Said the employee who thought I was a passenger, "Sorry! You're the guy who comes down here to watch the train." My wife-to-be who was there with me thought that was hillarious.
