Well, it's happened again. Sunday night I was photographing the eastbound Empire Builder passing the Sounder commuter train from a parking lot at the station in Everett, Washington. After taking two pictures, I was approached by a security guard and was told photography of trains is not permitted. <br /> <br />When I questioned the guard about the public property issue, she called her supervisor to verify the fact and responded that the security company has been instructed to tell everyone that photography of trains is not allowed. The supervisor also responded that the parking lot was private property and not public property. (This is a public park and ride lot used by Amtrak and Sound Transit as well as several local bus transit agencies.) All in all the security guards were very polite. <br /> <br />Interestingly enough, I have researched the Sound Transit passenger conduct rules on their web site and in their timetable and have found no mention of photography at all.
