So, now that you spent the afternoon in jail, and have to post a bond tonight to get out…
Was it really worth arguing with me about being in my yard, taking photographs of that locomotive?
Have you finally figured out that why I was angry with you was not because I dont like fans, but because you were standing in the center of live yard tracks?
Smack dab dead center of track 43, between the rails.
Did it ever click with you how much danger you were in?
Didnt you understand that we were down in the yard working, not just hanging out on a locomotive?
Have you any idea how dumb you were, and how mad it made me when the answer to all my questions about why you were here was “All I want to do is to take some photos” .
I politely explained to you why you couldnt be where you were, I even offered to take your camera, and take some photos for you…but you insisted you had the right to drive into private property, park in the middle of our emergency road, and block it with your car (which is why your car was towed) then wander across live tracks that I was switching into, climb around on a flat car that was part of a track we were kicking cars into…because “all I want…”
Your “want” in no way supercedes the safety, and well being of my crew.
You put yourself in harms way, with total disregard to your safety, and the safety of my guys…

Didnt the railcars crashing into each other give you any clue as to how dangerous a place it is?
I really dont care if you saw that locomotive in California years ago, nor do I care that you feel it is safe to stand in the middle of live tracks "be
