Trainwatching at Dolton, IL

I thought I'd drop a quick note to let y'all know that the IHB cops have stepped up their presence at Dolton in the past couple of weeks. For those who are not familiar with the site, the best viewing place is on the IHB property to the southeast of the diamond. I was there a week ago yesterday, watching with a two guys who were there when I arrived. The had been approached by a cop before I got there and two others showed after. They were pleasant to us and didn't run us off (although one said he was supposed to) but they asked to see ID and wrote our particulars on 3X5 cards they had. I went back yesterday and encountered another IHB cop. Same story. Anyway, the point is: be extra careful not to do anything that will change things for the worse, there! Its a great place to watch from with lots of traffic all day long, including a bottle train from some steel company in Indiana to Acme Steel in Riverdale. I'm crossing my fingers that they don't actually start running people off. <br /> <br />BTW, other parts of the crossing belong to CSX and I understand that their cops do run people off so stay away from their property. <br /> <br />I have a question too about those 3X5 cards. Apparently, the cops turn these cards in at the end of the shift. I'm looking for a job as a conductor right now. Does anyone know if these cards could come back to haunt me when I interview for jobs? <br /> <br />Be safe! <br /> <br />
