Thank you Tom for a view from the other side. The only time I think I ever had contact (friendly) with railroad police was in Harpers Ferry in the eighties, and I'm not 100% certain about that. I have been approached by local police a few times. None of those contacts were nasty, although in a couple the officers were definitely in the wrong. For a few snapshots though I wasn't going to argue. I have found more often the police (and railroad personnel) are helpful. One time I even got a private tour of an executive passenger car I was taking pictures of.
