It must be pointed out that rules on the railway have evolved over the years because of incidents, rules that are usually strictly obeyed and make the railway a much safer place - the person seen here trespassing, against the law, is next to a running line. He, and others, might think that "it's OK because there are no trains coming" on that line but it is this complacency that can one day lead to a serious injury or worse. This coincides, timely, with a mention on WNXX.com regarding wondering around privately owned property photographing. If you like the railway, please respect it. |
