Hello, <br /> <br />I´m from Germany and I´m working in the management of the big federal owned German Railway (DB). In 1995 I used to work also some time for the AAR in Washington DC. So I know the US very well and I used to travel there every year. <br /> <br />Already in 1995 my expierence was that taking train fotos in the USA was much more difficult than in any western European Country. Unbelievable that this situation is now even worse. I don´t want to visit a country where I´m suspicious when I´m interested in trains.That´s why I decided now for the second time NOT to make my yearly fantrip to the US! Though I would love to see the big american fright trains again. Insted I will travel to Cuba. To US standards this is no free country but as a railfan you face there really less problems! What a strange world! The nation which wants to defend freedom turns out that it is limiting personnel freedom for it´s citizens and visitors itself. <br /> <br />I hope very much that this situation is going to change quickly again. <br /> <br />Christoph Grimm/Munich/Germany
