Are railroad supervisors spying on our sites?

Unread post by TrainNut85 »

It seems lately with a certain shortline of ours has gotten some attention. Since the coffee thread posting by Mike D. Shep, it seems the GLC has become unfriendly. My fiance heard from a friend of hers that no one can go on the Owosso property to sign a release form to take pictures. I think GLC is trying to be like the Class 1s, unfriendly towards railfans, just like what CSX does everytime.

I wouldn't call it "spying", but be advised RR employess do read these sites, both officials and crews.

I know for a fact they were still letting folks sign release after the "incident". Quite frankly, after the incident, I think IMHO it's better just to take photos from public property. I was surprised they were still letting people sign releases. Let's be thankful for what they allowed in the past and move on.

PS: Yes, officials from all the shortlines and maybe even the Class I's do read these message boards.

it is true if you are on the property they will ask you to leave and i believe that they will not give you a release form.

SRI has their own property at Owosso, which is separated from TSBY property by a fence.
