As it should be.But a rail fan taking pictures of trains(Trainwatching),something that has happened,and ENCOURAGED by Railroads since the 1800's?

BNSF is one of the few Class 1's that doesn't have their head up their a$$(es).They WANT rail fans out there taking pics & things, as the "Foamers"know better than the crews when something is"not right/out-of-wack".They even have a number for them to call.

Bottom line-That Snapperhead what you to call the cops on someone enjoying their hobby.And half to two-thirds the time,there are kids with them.
