NJT made a promise to the NJCLU and Railpace during the Warrington years? Are they reneging on that promise now? Is their word meaningless?


No. The policy still stands. The employees were ignorant.

NJT photo policy as per Warrington's letter

Even if he had been pointing his camera at the yard anything that can be seen from public space is legal to photograph. The only exceptions to that rule are certain military facilities.

Therefore I consider any interference by NJT employees to be unacceptable, yard or no yard.

MMS (or whatever the Meadowlands Rail Facility) on-the-way-to-NWK is called...

It's actually called the MMC, short for the Meadows Maintenance Complex. Or, as many others call it, the Mickey Mouse Club. :-)

Interstingly, the nickname "Mickey Mouse Club" is so universally accepted, that it's even used when crews call Amtrak dock for permission to make moves in the direction of the MMC. For example, you might hear on the radio "MM-91 to Amtrak Dock, we have an engine and 2 coaches in Hudson Yard ready east going to The Club".

Good to see them reaffirm Warrington's position (just about the only thing he did right in the last decade). But I think KenS owes you a few bucks for the tickets he said they'd give you.

OK call me a paranoid lawyer, but what does "as long as all safety and security procedures are followed."

It's the word "security" I'm focusing on. Sounds like they've reserved a pretty big loophole for themselves, no? Taking "any indicated corrective measures" also includes taking none if there aren't any "indicated."

How do you think NJT will interpret that phrase?

A few months later I was at Harrison on PATH and a PATH Motorman, said I am not allowed to take pictures, I asked since when, but he left. 5 minutes later (It was rush hours) 2 PA Cops got off the next train and I asked them the same question, since when is it against the law, and they said it was not, but against the rules. I was not going to argue with them, so I left.since I only had a 4 hour layover at EWR between flights. I have been taking pictures at both places since I was a kid in the 50s and this never happened before. What ever happened to freedom of the press.

The PATH employees and cops were correct - it is against the PATH rules to take photos/video on PATH property. This has been the rule since before 9/11/01, apparently. This is the only such possibly legal (many people surmise that it would be found illegal if taken to a court of law) rule that's in effect on a transit system in America, AFAIK.

I am quite surprised no one else here at SubChat bothered to tell you this in response to your post.

I beleive photography didn't become legal on NJT to about 2006-2007. I remember they had a photo ban in place in 2005.

That is completely incorrect. It was never illegal in recent history, AFAIK. The photo permits issued were done so on a voluntary basis and were not required by law. The requirement in law to have a photo permit was only a proposal, and was dropped before it was made into law.

Stations are not public places, they are public acces platforms for purpose of transportation. Lingering after train left is loitering.

That is completely false. You keep repeating this bullshit, and G-d forbid anyone ever believes you. Stick to operating on MNCR, the rest of us who so choose will continue to legally take photos on NJT.

I assume NJT has set security procedures in place. Such as, if suspicious behavior is noted, NJT police should be called to investigate. So to me, the email is saying that they reserve the right to investigate anyone taking photos. I personally have no problem with that, as long as such investigations of railfans take about 3 minutes and end with the railfan not being told that he has to stop what he is doing.
