----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K.P.’s absolute “theorem” from early, early childhood that he has seen over and over and over again: Those that CAUSE a problem in the first place will act the most violently if questioned or exposed.
QUOTE: Originally posted by K. P. Harrier That breed of railfan is invisible, and quite savvy. They often watch trains from trackside parks, public parking lots, and commuter train stations. They blend in with everybody else, and never rouse any suspicion. They artfully pace speeding trains only short distances. Train crews never catch on to the presence of secret locomotive admirers taking in the excitement and drama. Even managements do not know of the incognito types. Are these railbuffs among the very wisest of all the patriots in America?

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard I dont know Dan, Sounds like one of those CIA backed operations, where they trade illegally obtained railroad calender photos to the "freedom fighters" in exchange for information on UP's progress in their attempt at world domination. Or, it could be a Cuban thing. You know how those cubans are. (wink wink, nudge nudge). The camel walks across the desert. Ed[alien]
QUOTE: Originally posted by Alaskaman I dont think there's anything wrong with that type of railfans. Im one of them, actually. I prefer not tell people myself that I admire railroads, but if it ever comes up in one of my conversations with people, I won't hide the truth. I like watching trains go by, but i dont chase them for miles, neither I stand with a video/photo camera by the tracks 5 hours per day. I never tresspass on the railroad property (okay.....maybe once...or twice), and I prefer not to break the law while railfaning.

I don't hide my hobby, I don't broadcast it as well. The people that I care about the most and who care about me know and support me. I watch from a distance because it actually hard to get close to the track on the NEC and CSX. I wish I had a true spot to watch trains.
QUOTE: Originally posted by drailed1999 I flatly refuse to be descrete. If I am going to watch trains they're going to know it. I will just make sure that I'm on public property. I don't want to add anymore fuel to the fire.

Best wishes, K P Harrier The Mookie has snow between her ears right now - so must be a little foggy - can you tell me exactly what everyone is talking about? Are you talking about someone that may want to harm the railroads? I am intrigued - and would like a reply. However, if you are going to be like Missouri and blow me off like he did, then you will totally lose any credibility you have on this forum. I ask because I am truly curious! Mook
Have fun with your trains

QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Missouri was much worse than Incognito. He had a rant about railroad crossing accidents being the fault of the railroads. I am still scratching my head over that one. I asked questions - because I want to see if there is a really valid point of view on the other side. He would never answer me. Just kept ranting! His signature was Missouri - and I bet if there are any on the forum from Missouri, they cringed at his work. It was entertaining at first, as well as annoying - he had everyone one here seeing their doctors for high blood pressure. He insulted and upset the good working people with his "only my opinion counts" postings. Finally Trains had to take him to the vet and have him permanently put to sleep. Or was it "tutored"? Mook
