In Toronto this morning we heard a TV report that rail photography has been banned and that anyone in America seen photographing trains, railroad property, etc., may be arrested and detained for investigation. Supposedly Al Queda has issued a threat against the US railroad system. Can anyone confirm or deny this rumour? Sadly, when we become paranoid, begin to select a group of people and then restrict or deny them the basic freedom to enjoy an innocent activity, we've already conceded a small victory to our enemies. And yes, some of this paranoia has spread to Canada. A railfan in Montreal was arrested and detained for six hours while taking phtotgraphs of the Montreal Metro subway system. <br /> <br />Perhaps we can get some type of "National Rail Photography Permit". After all, we licence guns (in most places), muscle cars, motorcycles, hunting and fishing. If it's not too expensive and eliminates hassle while giving the railways and transit systems a measure of comfort, perhaps it's worth setting up. Any comments?
