Peter, I fully agree with you. However, most railroad management types I've run across over the years don't want to be bothered with railfans period. Even before the mess of Sept. 11, some major railroads considered us to be a notch above terrorists. Granted the majority of us are respectful of railroad property but those few that aren't....well. Another thing to take into consideration is the John Q. Public with a cell phone calling the local polza about terrorists with cameras and camcorders down by the railroad. <br /> <br />Do you remember someone writing a commentary in Trains magazine, about 10 years ago, on the idea of establishing a national system of I.D. cards for railfans with the railroads (or AAR)? I always thought it was a good idea, but with manpower on the railroads cut back there would be no practical way of running such a system. Again, nobody at the management level wanted to bother.
