I had eggs with my Full Breakfast this morning.
I had a full breakfast in Albany, NY earlier this year, I ended up watching trains...legally and safely.
I had Bailey's and called it breakfast. Does that count?

Did they serve grits?

Only if it was more than one shot.
Is the most important meal of the day.

Yep...Ate them like Cream of Wheat....
I am not asking anyone to do any thing unsafe or illegal. But letter writing and editorials, etc., have done nothing to dissuade those from changing the no photography rule. What if we do nothing? Nothing happens. Next another right or freedom will be taken away. I have suggested that this is a way to make our point. No mob scene, no violence, no signs, no shouts, no illegal activity, no sabatoge, no tresspassing, no destruction: maybe just take a picture and leave that spot. If we don't do it now, then who will do it and when? I know those who have responded here are not the ones I would expect to do anything like this, or probably anything else in our defense. I have made the suggestion. I am not taking roll call or counting bubbles. I'll be near a track someplace between 11:45 AM and 12:15 PM Saturday, October 3rd, with camera in hand. I hope others will be to. If no one notices, that shows even more the absurdity of such rules. If no one else shows up, it shows the absurdity of having this right in the first place.
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.

Did they at least have the dignity of serving them with Lard or five pats of butter?

At that time... if I'm working, I'll probably be near the tracks. If not working, good chance I'll be in bed.
I will be working, safely. If you are where I work with a camera, there will be issues. Mainly because it is off limits to the public. We do get some strays, but they are usually meeting the police on the way out.
I could care less what people do on sidewalks or property other than my employers. When they trespass however, I drop the dime, I dont care who they are.

Sheesh..thanks for the warning though.
Deggesty RRKen Did they at least have the dignity of serving them with Lard or five pats of butter? Yes, with butter is the proper way to eat grits. It is permissible to use red-eye gravy. Milk and sugar? I first heard of this heresy when I was in college, and a boy from Southwest Virginia admitting to having eaten grits thus the first time he had any. By the time he got to college, he knew better. (For the information of those who do not yet know, I grew up in South Carolina, and went to college in Bristol, Tennessee). Johnny
I wish someone here served red-eye. Hard to get decent food in a place where Lutefisk is considered good.
The original post was about the legal act of photographing railroads from public property being suspicious. It said nothing about trespass or banning photography. I don’t think there is much you can do about suspicion. Some people are full of it. Homeland Security thrives on it. The real issue, if it comes up, is the introduction of a prohibition on photographing railroad subjects from public property.

There is all sorts of not right with that statement. May as well add ketchup, and chase it with a Bromo.
To those of you happy to call the police, WHAT LAW is Henry/Ulrich proposing that fans BREAK?
We all bemoan how things aren't like they were in the good old days, yet I see the reason why right here in this thread. Too many are cowed into not doing things they like and used to do because someone else sees a problem where none really exist.
For example of all the hundreds if not thousands of middle easterners who learned to fly for fun or a career, five choose to do something horrible. Now every middle-easterner who even flies is suspect.
Why are railfans painted with that same brush???
wabash1 then you wonder why the railroaders hate foamers . you guys are the first to complain when the law comes to your spots and questiions you and the same guys who complain when railroaders turn you in. then you guys are the same guys who female dog and moan when you here of someone screwing up and making a bad name for foamers , then you have the nerve to turn railroaders in on the abuse button here for your own fantisy to continue. With all that said my point is the same guys ( all you guys posting) Are attempting to go out and draw alot of attention to your self and really set yourselfs back 20years and if you come out in the swarms that your trying to do so you can prove your points, then great i Hope everyone of you go to jail ( for your cause yea right) and i will help the police arrest the ones in my area. this is not a game. You want to be accepted do it the right way not as a bunch of vigalanties . No im not parinoid and i dont belive the world is ending. but when i see groups of people standing track side its not ussually a good thing and most generally ends up being trouble.

Who, pray tell, in this entire thread up to the point of your reply, said anything about being vigilantes? It was simply proposed that those of us who are willing can go out to take some photographs of trains on a certain Saturday during a certain time period, from public property. How is that being a vigilante? Nobody's proposing a mass protest where we all trespass on railroad property. That's absurd.
And for that matter, let's just say, Wabash1, that a large group of people did congregate in your neighborhood, on public property, to snap some train photos. You are going to help the police arrest them, are you? Good luck. What would you see? A buncha law-abiding, tax-payin' guys, standing in a parking lot or on a sidewalk facing the tracks, with cameras around their necks, swappin' stories about trains and railroad history, laughin', jokin', maybe making some new friends in the process, wearing their favorite RR ball caps and many (like me) a few pounds past slim, and you in your sanctimony will volunteer to help the police cuff 'em all and drag them into the pokey?
Uh huh. Sure you will. I think you'd be the one who stands a better chance of getting arrested for making a false report because no 911 operator would believe a crime was being committed or even such a group of rail enthusiasts were doing anything suspicious.
Calm down.
I'm afraid you can't trespass where I work either Ulrich.
The sign at the base reads: "Authorized personnel only. Use of Deadly Force Authorized".
Henry:
October 3 is a good day to go out an photograph trains. Each year Railroads Illustrated selects a Saturday, usually, for railfans to go out to their favorite haunts, photograph trains, and send in their photos for publication. They call that day Railfan Day In North America. This year Railroads Illustrated has selected October 3 for Railfan Day In North America so selecting October 3 for all railfans to go out an photograph or even video record trains fits.
My wife and I will be on our way from Durango, CO to Canon City, CO so I should have an opportunity to photograph a train
If you are not breaking the law, there is no need to call the police. But c'mon... we all know that there are a lot of railfans that won't let a simple property line stop them from the ulitamte photo.

Anyone standing around on a street corner at a rail road crossing looks suspicious to the men in Blue (or Brown or Red).
Let us be serious for a moment shall we. I was in Harvey, IL back in 1988, and took some photos for stock of a man being questioned and arrested by the police. They tried it with me, but the law is on my side. So says those in the legal profession.
If you think, for one moment that the Constabulary cares what you are taking photos of, or would want to get into a legal tug of war, think again. Be polite, follow instructions, and have a nice day.

Funny that he refers to us as foamers..judging from his own post he is pretty much frothing over the top himself.
