Here is my [2c] <br /> <br />I always try and stay on public property, and not too close to the tracks. If I am approached by someone, I simply tell them my hobby is photographing trains, and 9 times out of 10, they give me a strange look and leave me alone. <br /> <br /> If you simply <i>must</i> go into a yard, there are two things to do. You could, walk into the office, first thing, and simply tell them you would like to shoot pictures of the equipment and promise not to disrupt anything. This may get you a tour o the engine facility (happened to me in Tennesee), or it may get you thrown out (also happened to me). <br /> <br />Above all, show courtsey to railroad employees and the law. If they do not want you around, just leave. There are tons of spots, just leave the one you were thrown out of and find another. My golden rule is treat people kindly, and you will not get arrested for railfanning. <br /> <br />Best of luck <br /> <br />[:D][:)][:p][;)]
