I railfan quite regularly, and photograph trains. Personally, I've only had a few instances of being approached to find out what I was doing. But, I generally do not hang out near rauk yards, or if the area looks seedy, wkich might be a cause to be approached bt some form or law enforcement, or lowlife seeing me with camera equipment. Out in open rural areas, or in small towns, I've never had issues, other than locals curious as to what I'm waiting for. After I explain my hobby, they are satisfied, and are gone! Most of the Police or RR Police I've encountered are pretty cool about what I'm doing. But, like what has been stated by others....it all depends how you handle yourself if questioned. Be straight forworth, and you'll be okay, act less than professional, and the response may be the same.
