QUOTE: Originally posted by timbrewolf Hi everyone! Its been a while since I posted here. I hope everyone is well. I recently accepted a job with a railroad that requires me to be certified in the GCOR and Railway Workers rules. I have both certifications now. I've been going to Dolton, IL to watch trains for a year or so now and the favorite place for trainwatchers there is on the southwest side of the diamond, inside the wye that goes from the northbound to the eastbound tracks. This is on IHB property. Am I less likely to get into trouble since I'm rules certified and a railroader or are they going to call my boss on me? Has anybody had any experience in this area? Its a great place to watch trains but I wouldn't want to get into trouble over it. Be safe!

QUOTE: Originally posted by harpwolf I wonder what the law says. Where I grew up, anyone could walk, snowmobile and hunt on your land unless you posted signs restricting one activity or another. By that thinking, if the landowner doesn't post "No trespassing", it's all good. Railroad could be different, of course. And 9/11 had its effect.
