[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BigJim [quote]QUOTE: We'd better watch out for those railfans. Everybody knows they're crazy and no one knows what they're liable to do. The Art Bell Conspiricy Squad.[alien] [/quote] That's pretty good. I will admit that I do have to tune into the ol' ding dong just to hear what to look out for next[alien][alien][alien] On a more serious note; As a railroader, for the most part, I have had no problems with railfans. Many of them, I either know or am familiar with and they are well behaved and pose no danger to themselves or the RR. I do have one nagging problem though that kind of sits in the far corners of my semi-conscious mind. These guys with scanners and computers and being able to hear and see everything the dispatcher does. Well, it just doesn't sit quite right with me. Sure, it is a great tool for the honest railfan. In one way I'm glad for them. I know very well how boring it can be waiting on a train. HOWEVER, with technology making such rapid advancements, how long will it be before someone figures out how to start throwing switches and changing signals? Hopefully at least not until after I retire! Any other T&E's out there have a thought on this? [/quote] That's all that I was trying to say before everybody got all butt-hurt.
