Then under those conditions, I've been loitering for years. One of my favorite pastimes is to hang out on the platform of LIRR stations with crossing gates, locals and expresses, and a mix of equipment during rush hours. New Hyde Park and Mineola are the foremost examples. Hanging out at the Jamaica outbound platforms during PM rush is also fun. No one has ever asked to see my ticket.There are also people meeting people coming off arriving trains. They'll wait on the platform and wave for the person disembarking. It's quite comforting if this person is new to the area. Likewise, you might wait on the platform with someone you're putting on the next arriving train- especially if it's at night. If you're doing these things, you generally wouldn't have a ticket because YOU'RE not getting on or off the train. Does that constitute loitering? The only time I was ever challenged was back in 1978 during my phase of photographing LIRR trains going through street crossings. I'd done this from the street at Little Neck, NHP and Albertson with no problems. Then one day on Woodmere Boulevard, some old guy walking a dog demanded to know why I just took a picture of that train. My explanation that I was interested in trains and liked to photograph them at crossings seemed to arouse much suspicion in him. WHY would I be interested? WHY would I like to do this? Mind you, this was 23 years before terrorism-driven paranoia became an issue. |
