[quote user="henry6"] Tested the program today.  Went to Nicholson, PA today to witness the passage of Steamtown steam excursion across the CP/DH (orignial Delware, Lackawanna and Western RR) Tunkhannock Viaduct.  And I think it worked out pretty well.  No body from Homeland Security showed up so apparently no one complained.  About 30 lined a country road between several cornfields north of the bridge with cars, cameras, video and sound recording, and tripods; another couple dozen had gathered at the Pump and Pantry Coenvencience Store and Gas station (private property but no one seemed to care), and several others scattered around the town of Nicholson.  I, myself, set up my tripod at the corner of Main St. and PA Route 92 in front of the Doller General Store across Main St. from Peoples Nationa Bank.  The train was supposed to have arrived around 2pm but because of an NS southbound, it was held in Dalton, PA and did not arrive until 3:20pm. Two other railfans shared the same area for over an hour.  An unmarked State Police car (uniformed driver) did pass by once but did not bother us.  Somebody should probably report this lack of notice to Homeland Security and have everyone in Nicholson arrested for not reporting about 100 or so railfans scattered around town and the bridge in violation of HS laws!  Or was that a survellance team the blue and white single engine Cessena that kept circling town before the train's arrival?  But, all in all, I think Oct. 3rd should go very well with no violence or destruction of property anticipated, and probably noone to be reported or arrested unless they are stupid in their own right.  The public is now on notice!  And , what the hey, for noon ET, on the first Saturday of every month from now on! [/quote] Good for you, Henry!  What?  A 100 or so railnuts scattered around town and NOBODY REPORTED THIS "MOB"??!!  Oh my God.  Next thing you know they'll be snappin' pictures!  Wait!  They were doin' that too??!!  God help us.  Oh no - for God's sake they were probably patronizing local businesses and buyin' sandwiches and coffee to enjoy while watching trains!  WILL THIS TYRANNY OF CRIME EVER END??!! On 10/3, I'll park my car in Isanti, MN in the public parking lot on the west side of the BNSF Hinckley Sub, cross the tracks on the sidewalk, stroll-up to my favorite coffeehouse, flirt with the pretty girls they have working there as always, get a latte', stroll back to my car by the same route and sit there in a lawn chair and snap pictures of BNSF, CP & UP freights rolling through town while the light is good. This is surely the beginning of a life of crime - at the age of 46.  [:P]
