SubwayGuy Posted August 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2010 Generally, the most important thing is to stay out of the gauge. Not just the track gauge but also the loading gauge of the train. Getting clipped, while better than being run over, is still not a good experience. Also stay out of restricted areas unless you have proper clearance to be in there.

TransitStop Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted August 5, 2010 so the grass beside a street would that be considered Restricted? it's next to a fairly busy road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted August 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted August 5, 2010 so the grass beside a street would that be considered Restricted? it's next to a fairly busy road Any area that has a DO NOT ENTER sign is restricted. In general, any area that the public is not supposed to see/be in is restricted. The side of a street is not restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted August 6, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 6, 2010 so the grass beside a street would that be considered Restricted? it's next to a fairly busy road No, that's fine. But any railroad property that's not open to the public (ie yards, employee only walkways alongside the tracks, restricted areas of station houses, and any railroad right of way) would be considered off limits. Public spaces such as greens and roads are OK, however just be mindful of where you are and use common sense. If you're on a highway it's not a good idea to make a complete stop to get a photo.
