How disgusting if it is.[xx(] <br /> <br />Boy, I am glad I'm a Santa Fe Super Chief fan. I assure you that I will never have a UP on my layout, unless they change their greedy attitude towards the model railroad industry. <br /> <br />And 3 million bucks to collect 300K? What idiots! <br /> <br />Cindy <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes sad but true. Some guy (retired from the air-force) in Texas did get arrested. Some UP engineer called the cops, who called the FBI, who searched the guys car, took all RR related things and made the guy sign that he would never railfan at the location again. As unreal as it sounds it's true (this was post 9/11, many railfans have been stopped by cops since then but never in this manner). A even UP exec said that railfanning was suspicious! While China is letting you railfan you can't here in the US! I hope UP get's bought by somone else
