I don't take pictures often, but every time I have where there was scheinsicherheit around, told them what I was doing, accent said "out of town" and that was the end of it. When one of my former motorman buddies came east from Montana for a visit here, I went and called up CSX police about two weeks ahead of his arrival, told them that me and a buddy wanted to take pictures INSIDE Selkirk yard of the equipment and all. They ran a background check on ME (I had no problem with it myself) and then called back, told me and Ed to meet them at the employee parking lot, and we had free reign of the yard after a couple of track safety questions.I guess one's luck around railroads is all a matter of the common sense demonstrated. Cops appreciate knowing that someone in their face is not going to be a threat or raise their blood pressure. From a cop's mind, the ONLY people who ramble on and on about their "rights" are perps. :) |
