CPLs on the Pokey

[NW Mailing List]

Ray 

 

  I have done all of the above many times there's not a N&W shop or
facilities other than Lamberts Point that I have not been 

In at one time or the other ,cab rides all over the system with permission
and without. Fact is today they do not want anyone on their 

property who's not engaged in official business. There are retirees and
active employees  on this list who have got in trouble for being

on the property. The N&WHS can't even get a tour of anything any longer. You
would be hard pressed to find someone to give you permission and willing to
risk their job so that you can take a picture. Nor should you put them in
that position . Most all railfans know the spill by now.  Unfortunately
times have changed lawyers have  screwed up the whole country.  So I will
stand by my advice to Evan don't go asking . You can still railfan and have
a good time most NS police that I have talked to are very nice just use
common sense and you won't have a problem

Larry,

It's funny how two people can have such different views. I have railfanned
the Pokey several times. I went into the offices at Bluefield and asked
permission to take photos. With just simple instructions like stay off the
tracks I was given permission and a copy of the engineers track diagram
book. In Williamson I was allowed into the roundhouses and other buildings.
All they asked there was that I again stay off the tracks watch for moving
equipment and please let them know when I was leaving. It comes down to how
you present yourself.

    Please don't going asking for permission . Everyone here knows you would


Never be granted permission in a thousand years. All you will do is mess up
the location for everyone. Just use common  sense stay away from the rail
,tunnel ,signals

And any facilities .
