That's certainly taking the step ladder idea to new heights!

The person in question has his foot on the rail so obviously does not belong on or near a railroad...

Oh - My....

Look at these characters!

Its acts like the ones pictured that gives photographers a bad image with railroaders.

I Agree with Tugboat.
Do that in the UK and you risk prossecution and a hefty fine!

I'm guessing that as part of the Slideshow group you may have had permission to be on BNSF property, maybe even under the supervision of the gentleman with the radio. That aside, come on Paul P and Tugboat!? That track hasn't seen a movement in quite a while and may even be abandoned.

The tracks that we were on is owned by Tacoma Rail(ex-Milwaukee Road/ex-Chehalis Western), and was inactive at the time(2005). Now(2012) the only use of these tracks is for long term storage. The track leading towards the BNSF train is the connection track to the BNSF, which is also rarely used. No railfans or railroaders were hurt in the making of this photo, as you can see we were a very safe distance away from the active mainline. No harm, no foul.

I love it that one of them brought a ladder.

Drew,
RP.net contributors are me, Aaron Hockley and Ross Fotheringham. I can't believe that Steve Eshom is not a contributor. I have the radio in the back pocket. Ross has the shirt "Will sell wife for beer" shirt on. I laughed really hard when I saw him wear that out in public. He got lots and lots of grief from all of us on that one.

Excellent light!
|
That's a great shirt. Don't you guys know to expect a train on any track at any time? Even that spur that hasn't had a switch off the main for 25 years. You just never know. Deaths by invisible trains are on the rise according to the latest statistics.
