Although this story is based on experiences in Utah, I know a lot of us take pictures of passenger trains all over New England. And since the TSA is now involved, theoretically it's now a federal issue, pertaining to all of us.

Taking pictures of FrontRunner could land you in trouble

You're more than welcome to ride it, but if you snap a picture of the FrontRunner train, you could get in some trouble. A newspaper photographer was recently questioned by police for standing on the platform with a camera in hand. Surprised? We were.
As it turns out, there's nothing wrong with having a camera near the train, and there's nothing wrong with taking a picture of the train, unless, you're taking pictures of how the train operates.
Most riders wouldn't even think about snapping pictures of FrontRunner. And even if they did, as rider Deborah Jenson said, "Most people would be taking pictures of, ‘Oh look it's our first trip on the train.' Not anything scandalous or dangerous."
Dwayne Baird, with the Transportation Security Administration, said, "We have people who are train enthusiasts. They want to take pictures of the train, and that's OK."
