Even though this was only a decade ago, it was still a different era. It really is tragic that you guys can't get away with the stuff I used to do. I had many adventures that I wouldn't attempt to try today. If I don't get run out of here for telling them I will post more when I get time. I've been busy as can be lately but I feel sick today so I am hiding in my office. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I hear ya. I always go railfanning with my dad, and we once went to the UP engine facility here in the Chicago suburbs becasue the Olympic Torch SD70 was having work done to it. We drove on to the yard road and sighted the loco, but it was buried... So I occupied myself with photographing some of the power that was closer, and tryng to get a shot of the 2002, which I could not. <br /> <br />Just as we were abuot to leave, a UP employe came over to tell us that we were treuspassing, and my dad and I said that we would leave, no questions asked. But then the UP guy started to shoot the breeze with us....he talked to my dad.. I asked him some rrailroading questions, and told him how I would some day like to work for the UP... he asked why we were here, my dad and I explained to the UP guy that we were railfans, and I was interested in photography. And then , we mentioned the 2002 and the guys took us back there!!!!!! he let us cross the track to get pics of the Olympic torch loco!!! What a nice guy!!!! Goes to show ya, common courtesey goes a long way[:)][:D] <br /> <br />EDIT: I accidentaly typed in KATY SD70 oops!!![:I]
