When your out watching Trains minding your own Business eather taking Photo's or Video Tapeing,Do the cops bother you at all. Because we live in a world where alot of people have nothing better to do than than call the cops on there cell phone! Just the other day a crew on a westbound called the Train dispatcher about a Railfan with a Camera on a Tripod very close to the tracks. Ya that's a good way to get the cops called on ya........ <br />But anyway! I myself don't get bothered by the cops at all that much,that's why I myself try to railfan alone (away from public view). But my stupid friends on the other hand now that's another story. I just hate Railfanning out in open public places because people want to make them selves just look realy cool by calling the cops every time thinking: My god there's a person with a Camera on a tripod and a video camera next to a Railroad Track taking pictures of that train "I think he's a Terrorist".......Oh my god! So guess who shows up when your in the middle of your Railfanning Hobby............You guessed it,a cop! I will NEVER Railfan in open public ever again! I mean that THERE ARE Railfans who like to Railfan alone,And I can see why........Now. Because the Public is too PARANOID! <br />You Railfans do have a choice,What would you do? <br />Do you Railfan in the open for the public to see you or do Railfan alone? <br />I can understand that the cops have a job to do but chasing after Railfans when there doing nothing wrong is another thing. I for one thing am not going to let things like that keep me from my love for Trains. I mean this "is" a free country! <br />Have a nice day[:)]. <br />Oh and one more thing,Keep on Railfanning.
