If You Don't Like Train Horns, Why Do You Live By The Tracks...?

Because they did not do any research into the neighborhood that they will be buying a house in before they buy it. It is only a few hundred thousand dollars (remember I am in California), why bother investing any time?

LOL, he bluffed, you blinked.

He won.

I have to wonder, however. If "tampering" with an engineer and causing him to deviate from his normal course of duty, is some kind of "no-no"

Surely the distraction is not something the engineer's employers would be pleased with.

This evening while making audio recordings of Metra trains at LaFox Road just east of the Metra station, I was approached by a man (who lives across the tracks) who said something along the lines of "If I see you here waving at the trains to blow there horns again, I'll call the cops".  I didn't have much of a chance to say anything to him because my father wanted to leave.

So if we are on public propperty on the south side of the tracks, is there anything he can do to us?

For those interested, we are having a pieceful railfan gathering at my railfan spot at LaFox, just east of where the UP West line crosses LaFox Road on the south side of the tracks starting at aproximately 17:45 hours on Friday night and lasting through the rush.
