Right then a state cop told him he wasn't allowed to. I politely tried to tell the cop that I thought it wasn't even a rule yet AND that even if it was, it would only apply to NYCT. I tried to ask him probably 5 times and he just ignored me every time.
HE had no legal business to tell you to stop.
MTA is only proposing ban on subways and has not expanded the request to include LIRR or MNCR.
I am considering a railfanning trip on the Harlem and Hudson lines on Friday, and I want to bring my camera. What can any of you recommend that I do/say if I encounter a similiar situation? I looked on the MNR website for a list of rules, like the subway at least used to have, but I couldn't find anything. (If I had, I would have printed it and taken it with me and in such a situation I would have asked the cop/employee to point out the cited "rule"). Would I be able to get a copy at a ticket window or maybe the info booth or stationmasters office at GCT?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
