[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] Dear Convicted One:What an odd thing to brag about.  I assume the name is derived from pride.A major crime commonly committed against railroads is the theft of miles of copper wire from their right of way.  Any police officer who comes across a car parked on or near the right of way with no other apparent reason for being there would be derelict in his duty if he DIDN'T check it out.I am only an authority on the laws in New York, but at least there when you enter or remain on the property of another you are trespassing if you pass any kind of a barrier intended to keep you out.  That can be a fence, a wall, a hedge row, or even just a no trespassing sign.  You are also trespassing if you are instructed to leave by anyone who has the authority to do so, and you fail to comply or you return.It sounds to me like that Police Officer has instructed you to stay off railroad property.  Next time you enter it you will be trespassing and probably arrested.  If you had walked out carrying wire cutters, or any railroad property you would probably be posting your complaint from the computer in the jail library.If you want to rail fan, photograph from a safe place where you are allowed to be and by all means look like a civil person and not like a street thug as is currently so popular with our youth.Cheese:Your story sounds like an alcohol induced fantasy.  "So I told my daddy and he had him fired?"If that happened then you left out a lot of details.[/quote]Hmmmm, based-on your earlier posts, I'd have assumed this is the typical behavior of the "Gestapo".  You do seem to be whistling a different tune in this case.
