3 more make the hobby a worse off place..... |
|
|
Posted by rionOne on Mon Nov 17 04:56:02 2008 Got a interesting piece of info across my desk, 3 known railfans were spotted being led to the police district at 145th St. This kid Anthony, and his two buds Steven and Crappy McCrappers. A good friend of mine was coming through 145th St yesterday in search of some R40s on the (A) and recognized them from the museum trips.From what he briefly heard, they were caught vandalizing trains. Another good example of why transit people look down on railfans. What is up with this younger generation coming into the hobby. I mean I know in some of our younger days we did some "stuff" but damn this new generation is taking it to a whole new level. Regards, Trevor Logan |

So you're saying that what you said is untrue - it's actually only a select group of transit people who don't like railfans. Well I don't give two sh*ts about them. The fact that they needlessly and 'retardedly' hate doesn't affect most of the rest of us. |

You can't say that as a general statement.- Many suits don't have any tollerance for railfans, whether they be employees or customers. - Ops employees are about the same, i.e. if a fan has gotten you in trouble, you won't do any favors in the future. - Then again, some of my best friends are employees & railfans. |

Don't start your shit, I didn't say anything about what I said was untrue.I was merely stating what I've heard and I've heard spoken more than a few times wherein Transit fans are referred to as "Wack Jobs" or "Transit Freaks" by Transportation Personnel and not just MTA personnel. Just because YOU don't hear it or see does not mean that it does not occur. Furthermore, I didn't say you had to give a shit either, nor did I say it affected most of us in this hobby. But the true fact is that it does affect some fan, and that its sad that it does. Regards, Trevor Logan. |

Some dumb transit people unfairly look down on railfans, or 2. Some smart transit people look down upon vandals and criminals. |

If you love the system, you'll treat it with respect and not harm it.While I don't know what these individuals were alleged to have done, if they "tagged" in some way, maybe they thought they were "marking their territory" or "signing" their cars or whatever. Real dumb, and, unfortunately, some less than enlightened transit personnel and management may take it out on the rest of us... |

The three, using tools and equipment, literally tried to make off with a rollsign from a (C) train. R-38, I assume.They got the cover open, pulled it out, and cut it, and tried to make off with it. On an in service train, no less. When the court orders are made public, we can finally learn Crappy McCrapper's real name, so we can stop calling him Crappy McCrappers. |
