Norton photography incident

[NW Mailing List]

Employees must be accountable for their actions. A condition for employment in most of today's American industries is following the rules and processes the company has established.  Railways and industry as a whole is very different today than in the 70's.  Regardless, I still feel a need to assure railroad employees feel comfortable when they see me around and don't perceive me as a spy. I still feel it's important to show them respect and not be overly intrusive or threatening while they are performing their jobs.  I may own NS stock as well as some from a couple of other "lesser" railroads but my "Hobby" is railroading; it's not my job.

Pete,

You are correct. He should have put his hi-vis vest on before going to the phone. It's the
rules. I think the message for railroaders all around the world is "remember someone may be
watching what you are doing"!

It really is not the photographers fault that the engineer got off the train

without his vest.  Hey I am sorry for the engineer but he was wrong, not the

fan.
