taking photos

[NW Mailing List]

Photographs from public places (which Amtrak platforms are not....) is very 
 much allowed.  I hope your friend stood his ground and politely asked the  
yardmaster to check with his superiors.

Skip Salmon in his post to the group wrote  this: 
Passed around also was the latest "Trains"  magazine which has an article 
"Amtrak plans photo program" which outlines the  new policy of Amtrak for 
rail fans to photograph trains from their platforms.  Now you must "notify 
Amtrak officials BEFORE taking  pictures". 
I’m not an avid photographer, so I don’t keep  abreast of these things.  
What’s  behind the policy? 
Just 2 days ago a friend of mine related his  photography experience around 
the Norton, VA, area.  Recently he was taking pictures of the  yard area 
from PUBLIC right-of-way.  The yardmaster saw him, and  intentionally went out 
of his way to tell the photographer that photos were  NOT allowed! 
Comments?
