Saw an interesting locomotive the other day at my neighborhood yard. It was a leased unit, orange in color. I could have chased across the yard and snapped happy snaps to my hearts content, but instead I went to the trainmaster's office, rang the door bell, and explained what I wanted to do. The NS employee said no way, no how, forget it, no pictures. If I wanted pictures, I could go up on a local viaduct and shoot away. Was I disappointed? Yes. Did it make me mad? No. Were my "rights" impeded? No. Did the employee hate his job? I don't know. Did he hate me? Probably not. So why was he so adamant? Might be explained in one word- safety. He didn't want me run over and I can understand why he felt that way. Was he polite? Yes. Tyrannical? No. Until I gain majority interest in Norfolk Southern railroad, it's their property and their rules. If the same guy asked me to give him a ride in my patrol car, he would have to sign a bunch of liability release forms before I ever said yes. Will I be polite? Yes. Tyrannical? No. Heavy butter on the popcorn, please. And make my co-cola fully leaded... it's gonna be a long night. Erik
