I sent a e-mail to our mayor here in Arlington,Texas about designated railfaning sites and the thought to create a police registry for railfans to sign up to. So that background checks and the such could be conducted so that when an officer stops to question us about our activities when he runs our ID he will learn that we are legitimate railfans. The idea is to provide safety but also cut down on the police having to wait for all the checks to be made. This is the response I got... Mr. Allen We appreciate you taking the time to write us with your concern. While national security is of the utmost importance to everyone, I can see how you and others would be frustrated with the limiting of your hobby. Several agencies need to be brought together to look at this issue. I will contact the federal, state and local agencies as well as the railroads to get the dialogue started. I hope I can call on you for input as we work through this issue.
