Who?
Maybe we should do a protest, get them to let us do legal things. This is not an issue as big as racism, but it should be delt with....eventually.

It's their property, they (RR's) can do what they want on it (within reason and federal laws). As long as you respect the property line, so should they.

Would you like someone you don't know looking over the fence into your backyard or worse, your bedroom, all the time and have this same person claim it's THEIR RIGHT to see what you are doing in the privacy of your property (home). I didn't hink so.

Who Has the Guts to Standup for America?

Railroads are lying, abusive tyrants toward railfans. It has been proven time and time again that those that standup in unison to injustice are rewarded. Look at the famous Rosa Parks (who just died) and the Civil Rights movement! Railroads need to forcefully learn what American justice is, and not be trampling underfoot the American flag.

I say expose railroads to the world … And railroad stockholders will soon get the point, and force the needed reforms. I beg: Who has the guts to standup for America?


Clarification of 10-28-05 also repeated on page 4:

“RAILROADS ARE LYING, ABUSIVE TYRANTS TOWARD RAILFANS.”

I say the unpaved SLANTED edges of public roadways were paid for by taxpayers, and as such are NOT railroad liability properties. The roadway may sit on railroad property, but an easement was granted. Thus the public has a right to park off the pavement on the slanted edge. Right? Some railroads don’t think so.
