For those of us who visit train stations in NS territory, are there restrictions against being on NS property? Not the tracks (as I know not to go on tracks, or even go over a fence that surrounds tracks), but how about being around NS buildings around a station, parking areas, sidewalks leading up to tracks, etc.?
I was at the Charlotte NS/Amtrak station, where tracks are blocked off by a fence. I stayed on the "public" side of the fence, on a sidewalk that connected a few small buildings (probably NS-owned) near the main station, and probably 20' from the tracks and a Piedmont passenger train. There were no signs indicating that access was prohibited to the public...yet a conductor from the passenger train leaned out from the train and started yelling at me to leave.
I'll of course fully comply with any NS limitations, but am not interested in dealing with a passenger conductor on a power trip who sets his own rules.
Thanks.
