[bow] Go Ed. <br />It serves those stupid yuppie ***s right. They knew they don't belong there and that they have no business riding in the train cars. They deserve the "rough ride" Ed gave them and then some. You wanna ride trains that's what AMTRAK is for. <br /> <br /> <br />As for the documentary some of it does seem a little bit like over the top sensationalism. Especially with the guy saying "If You live near train tracks you have a potential crime scene in your back yard." Dumbass. If you live anywhere you have a potential crime scene in your backyard. A few months ago the SWAT team was called to a standoff a block away from a house I lived in when I was a kid and I didn't see no train tracks when I lived there. <br /> <br />I didn't go 31 flavors of paranoid on September 11th. Yes crime is likely to happen in some places more than others but I honestly doubt there's a Taliban or an FTRA member every 18 inches. <br /> <br /> <br />So long as you go railfanning in a well lit public area at a reasonable time of day you'll be fine and as long as you stay out of freight trains that Ed runs.
