Hi Eric, Hi all,
Great photos once again. Love your shot of me doing my thing for "Homeland Security!" Those "TouristaTerrorists" are a hard bunch :D
It was a great weekend for picture taking, excellent light and VERY comfortable temps. It was good to see you at Greenport. I invite all of the RR.Net Forum Members to shout hello when they come to Greenport on a summer weekend, I'm in the station plaza Friday nights and during the day on Saturday. Please say Hi!
Please note how clean the "end of track" bumper is. I will endeavor to keep it that way this summer.
As I told Eric face to face, the new MTA concerns on photo taking are real. On May 19th, during the semi-annual RMLI membership meeting, the Southold Town Police came to the Museum looking for a "film crew" that was supposed to be "shooting" in Greenport that day. We were aked to advise the police when they arrived and we complied as requested. (The local police do a great job protecting our property at Greenport and we will help them do their job.)
The film crew, director and actresses arrived in time to "shoot" the 5:05 PM as it arrived in Greenport. They spent an hour following the arrival to film the actresses on the platform and around the station. As part of the new photography concerns, the police were checking photo identifications and vehicle license information on the film crew and their cars. An officer stayed "on location" to provide further security.
The filming went well and once the train left at 6:17 PM, the crew packed up and went back to NYC.
