MMM! Just reading this makes me think that you all need to take a chill pill (or MAYBE A WHOLE BOTTLE). I am a railroader and a fan too!!!!! The last thing that a Railroader wants is to have some foamer throwing qoutes from the GCOR in their face, are you just trying to make a bad situation worse? I can't believe that fans are thinking that they'd take copies along with them on shoots. Like Wabash1 I don't worlk under GCOR (they don't exist "down under"). Don't you need to get a signed disclaimer from a person before you publish a photo (I don't know US law), regardless of whether you are on Public or Private property? How can a Engineer tell whether you are taking a photo for your own collection or are going to submit it to a mag like trains. WE don't have Railway Police in AUS...Train crews call Control (Dispatcher) and they call out the real police. And they don't like wasting their time. Believe me on that one...I found out the hard way at 17. We all can remember a bad experience with Railroaders, but did you ever stop to think that they might have had one in return. Just south of Sydney (50 miles) lies a small town called Picton. A heritage listed station, beautiful box with Armstrong levers (some signals are still semaphores...in 2005). The point to all this was that nearly ten years ago a tour was being run to welcome a diesel back into service (after restoration {A GE / ALCO cab unit) and the train was pulled into the siding to let a ten wheeler take on water. People where just walking over both main tracks and when the tower operator asked several people to get back up on the platform, they told him to "Get F#@---". Nowadays Railfans aren't allowed within a mile of the place. Can't everybody just get along?
