[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MP173</i> <br /><br />The most rude experience I have had with a railfan was in 1979 at Edelstein Hill, just west of Chilicothe, Il. on the ATSF. <br /> <br />The TPW was hosting 765 the Nickle Plate Berkshire for weekend trips. A carload of buddies drove to Peoria and during a lull we drove to Edelstein. <br /> <br />A very well know railfan, tons of pictures published over the years was there...and let everyone know who he was. He then proceeded to take out a saw and cut down a small tree (3" diameter) that was in his view. <br /> <br />Is it any wonder that that area is now fenced off and posted "No Trespassing"? <br /> <br />Can you believe the nerve of the owners? Keeping railfans off of their property? Tisk, Tisk. <br /> <br />ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hullihan's(sp?) Curve? a few more "bad" railfans finally broke the straw there 5-10 years back. littering, yelling, scared the poor old lady that lives there, threatened her, spun thier tires when they left, threw rocks all over her house.... The fence was up within a week. IIRC <br /> <br />there went one of the best shots in Chilli-Edelstien
