Re: ROBBED BY A COP— AGAIN!

First and foremost, Nilet, what was the special photo op at GCT that you had to get a picture of? An M1A? M2? M3A? M4? M6? M7A? Shoreliner? Phoebe Snow Cars? Private Varnish? What? And you could not go anywhere else on MNRR to get it?
Secondly, I was also on the ACMU Farewell Trip back in 2004. I remember the lunch stop at Grand Central Terminal. We were told before we arrived that you may photograph ONLY THE ACMU EXCURSION TRAIN!!! DO NOT PHOTOGRAPH ANY OTHER TRAINS ON ANY OTHER PLATFORMS!!! I believe we were informed that it is not allowed on any of the platforms and the exception was for our special train. It was also told because they did not want anybody wandering around where you are not allowed or on trains that were sitting idle on adjacent tracks.
Also, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just spoke to a friend of mine who is employed by MNRR. A higher up you can say. Anyway, he told me that photography IS INDEED ILLEGAL ON ANY PLATFORM OF GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL for the exception that you are escorted by Dan Bruckner-MNRR President.
Inside the terminal such as in the main concourse-they will not bother you. Also anywhere else on MNRR, they should not bother you.
Yes, they may come up to you and QUESTION you. But they SHOULD NOT bother you as long as you are not a distraction of operation or on another's property. But again, we still hear the stories.
Nilet, I don't want to say this, but the MNRR Employees, MTAPD and Armed Forces were justified with what they were doing. You did not help the cause either by brushing them off or by saying it is legal when it is not. If you showed the employees a printout of the photography rules, the outcome may have been a little different.
You are just asking for trouble every time you go out and take photos. This seems like an every week occurrence with you.
IDK if it's your approach to taking photos or what. You may want to give it a rest for a bit.
