ON FRIDAY AUGUST 3RD I WENT OUT RAILFANNING ALONG THE BNSF. I STARTED NEAR HOME AND WENT OLD ROUTE 66 FROM VICTORVILLE,OUT THRU BARSTOW AND ALL THE WAY TO AMBOY. I WAS FOLLOWING A FREIGHT ALL THE WAY FROM BARSTOW,AND I STOPPED TO TAKE SOME PICTURES ALONG THE WAY. WHEN I GOT TO AMBOY I WAVED TO THE CREW OF THE TRAIN I HAD BEEN FOLLOWING AND MADE THAT MY POINT OF RETURN. THE ENTIRE TRIP I HAD BEEN VERY VISIBLE AND WAS STAYING OFF THE RIGHT OF WAY. WHEN I WAS HEADED BACK TO BARSTOW,I STOPPED NEAR PISGAH TO TAKE SOME PICTURES OF SOME GP-30s THAT WERE IN THE SIDING WAITING FOR ANOTHER TRAIN. SO I HEADED BACK ONLY THINKING OF THE GREAT TIME I HAD WATCHING BNSF TRAINS ALL DAY. I WENT BACK INTO BARSTOW TO HAVE ONE LAST LOOK AT THE BARSTOW YARD,SO I PARKED MYSELF NEAR THE HUMP TRACKS NOT ON RAILROAD PROPERTY. I WAS ONLY THERE A FEW MINUTES WHEN THE BNSF POLICE SHOWED UP. TURNS OUT THEY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE RAILROAD CREWMAN HAD REPORTED ME FOLLOWING THERE TRAIN. THE BNSF POLICE OFFICER ALLREADY KNEW MY ADDRESS AS THEY HAD RUN THE PLATES ON MY TRUCK. THEY HAD BEEN TRYING TO FIND ME SINCE 11AM WOW!! ANY WAY MY SAVIOR WAS MY ID FROM THE BNSF PROGRAM FOR RAILFANS. AS I HAD REGISTERED AND I SHOWED THE OFFICER AND I DID SHOW HIM THE PICTURES I TOOK SO HE COULD CLEARLY SEE THAT I WAS NOT ON THERE PROPERTY. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE HAVING A LOT OF BREAK INS TO RAILROAD EQUIPMENT ALONG THE TRACKS ,SO IF I SAW ANYTHING SUSPISIOUS TO REPORT IT RIGHT AWAY. SO WE BS FOR A LITTLE AND THEN HE SAID SEE YOU AGAIN, AND WITH THAT HE WENT ON HIS WAY. SO TO ME HE WAS REAL NICE AND UNDERSTANDING, A GOOD RR POLICE OFFICER.
