Grab a rock, have a seat, and talk about the real world of trains.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I just think that in this situation you'd be questioned no matter your race.

Kids, c'mon.
Zek, police have to worry about things like this. Ever since 9/11, all forms of transport have been under a watchful eye, no matter what you may be or are doing.
SD40Aussie, I don't really have much to say to you other than this statement.

You did nothing wrong. Police are always wrong.

Is that what you wanted to hear?


Is really, well, bitchy and mean.

Then there is what Buzz said where cops can treat us however but we sort of have to give them respect.
I really have no room to speak, though. I was at the Lawrence, Massachusetts yard last year, and when I told my dad I wanted a closer look at a Guilford painted geep, he drove me right into what I assume is the transload and engine storage area of the yard.

^That's why I did on my encounter. He was a friendly cop, just worried what I was doing there.

Except when the cop is a railfan. He gave me a 1980s crossbuck! He has about four sets of them.

Lucky me. I've never been questioned like ever in the 3 years. I always gotten the friendly waves from them. I kinda feel left out.

Lucky you. But when I say Cops and Railfans don't mix it doesn't necessarily mean that one or the other is good or bad.

Sleep well, foamer-children, the incompetence of the TSA will soon be visiting a rail line nearest you. I'd rather deal with a cop with a god-complex.
