[quote user="mudchicken"] <p>From an old roadmaster that dealt with homeless in the LA Terminal:</p><address>(1) Story sounds conveniently fabricated to advance a cause. (pity party anyone?)</address><p>(2) City officials frequently cite and fine railroads when they see homeless camps on the railroad property. (Never mind those same city officials herded them onto the railroad in the first place)..</p><p>(3) Railroad R/W is supposed to be private property. (Now a certain forum poster will come out of the woodwork screaming "easement"!)Those same city officials in "2" have taken lately to claiming that railroad R/W is what ever they want it to be if it gets in the way of a pet project such as what happens in Indiana.</p><p>(4) Ever see the cleanup bills the railroads absorb from these homeless folks? Frightening.</p><p>(5) Anyone disagreeing with Carl might want to see the issue firsthand, up close and in real colors. That is, if you can handle people coming at you with knives, dirty syringe needles, spitting at you (AIDS), the TransV's, throwing excrement and all the other not-so-fun stuff. </p><p>(6) How many times have the tresspassers been told to leave and ignored the warnings?</p><p>Somehow the folks in the article would have you believe that they are somehow exempt from consequences for their actions.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p> </p><p>The excrement throwing TransV's, in particular, need to be reeled in under control.</p>
