Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Mon Mar 8 16:20:46 2010, in response to Visiting Photojournalist Harrassed by New Jersey Transit, posted by bmtlines on Mon Mar 8 11:08:14 2010. Totally absurd!!!!! >:-(I had taken it upon myself to contact NJ Transit, and ask them about photography of trains at NJT stations, and this is what I got in response (yes it is an official word, and the official who responded, his name is included, should anyone here wish to make contact). And for the record, at Roselle Park, Cranford and even Linden, police patrolled, but nothing was said to me when I was observed, even where at Linden I was watched by NJT PD, for over 35 minutes and nothing at all was said to me from the second I showed up to the second I left, not followed, not anything!! Here is the letter to me from NJT in it's entirety...... ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Dear Paul, We are replying to your feedback of 2/13/2010 regarding subject: Policies regard photography on the NJT Rail System. NJ TRANSIT allows photographs to be taken of facilities and equipment as long as all safety and security procedures are followed. However, effective January 1, 2006, the requirement for a Photo Pass, temporary or Photo ID, has been eliminated. As such, photo permits are no longer a requirement to take photographs in publicly accessible areas on NJ TRANSIT property. Please note that this pertains to non-commercial photography only. Commercial photographers must still have a contract with NJ TRANSIT if they wish to film or conduct photo shoots. Scout photos taken by location scouts do not require a pass if the photos will not be sold. Thank you for contacting NJ TRANSIT. Sincerely, Carmine Melillo NJ TRANSIT Customer Relations Specialist ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* All replies must be thru the NJT website!! Those rent-a-cops are just plain dumbasses!! Photography COMPLETELY ALLOWED AND LEGAL!!! |
