[quote]QUOTE: <br />I'm not as young as you think, I have considerable life experience. Unlike you I do not trespass unless by ignorance of not knowing the property line. If I knew the line I did not cross it unless invited in by the railroad. With the No Trespassing signs posted everywhere it has not happened in many years. <br /> <br />(<b></b>OPINION) Your "more flys with honey" statement is interesting because it goes both ways. The railroad employees are part of a business which needs customers to survive. What if the father and son were the brother and nephew of a very large railroad shipper, a railroad shipper that is on the fence about a decision to keep using the railroad or switching to truck and all he needs is a slight pu***o move to truck? The CN guy just gave him the push. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well man, you don't have to get mad, I just asked how young you were because it sounded like you make up your mind based upon initial observations, without trying to weigh both sides of the story objectively.... <br /> <br />And snap judgements are great when they are right....but when they aren't you soon learn the value of objectivity. <br /> <br />the "trespassing" I was talking about includes anytime I step onto a ROW...technically anytime you step onto the RR's ballast, you are on private property...you are gonna tell me that you call ahead for permission everytime before you even do that? Well then, you should never have problems like this kid and his dad did, good for you. <br /> <br />My POINT however, was to show that even lowly scumbag trespassers like me can get off easy when caught, if they just use their head and treat the RR employees with a little respect. <br /> <br />As far as if the caught trespassers had ended up being some big shot with a large rail customer.....yeah that could have cost the employee his job....it also could have impressed the big shot so much with the guys dedication, that he offered him a better job wanting a guy with such spirit working for him...Guess we will never know. huh?[;)]
