    The Karen's natural habitat usually consists of retail stores and fast food places. They can stealthy appear out of nowhere hunting their prey. However, in other public places there are no managers to prey upon. This and the result of wondering out of their natural habitat leads to confusion and they become hyper aware of their surroundings. One theory is that it triggers a hormonal reaction and they become aggressive. Researchers have been experimenting with decoys such as inflatable fast food restaurants that can be placed at a safe distance from everyone else to lure them away but it's still in early development. If you're in a park, it is recommended you set up a decoy barbecue at least 100 yards away to distract them. Tune in to the Discovery Channel this weekend for a special hosted by David Attenborough.

    I had an encounter with a sheriff's deputy in the early 1980s when I pulled off the highway to wait for a train coming down from Donner Summit in the Sierra Nevada range of California. He pulled in behind me, got out of his car and immediately asked me what I was doing. I told him I was waiting for a train. Long silence. The then asked me if I had a gun. I told him yes, in my car. Long silence. Confused by straight-up honesty, not knowing what to say next, he then told me if he caught me shooting at any of the insulators on the telephone poles, he'd arrest me. Then he stomped off to his patrol car, got in and drove away.

      First, in all states, it is illegal to stop on the side of a highway unless you are broken down. That would be why he stopped. As for the gun issue, they were probably having problems with someone shooting the insulators on the power lines. I knew a few idiots when I was young that thought it was a fun thing to do. And for the long silence, he was probably trying to figure out why any person would stop to watch a train go by.

    Sadly, there are railfans (probably less than 10% )who disregard so much when railfanning. I saw a teenager once while watching a live stream, use a FLASHLIGHT to add lighting and shined it on the cab as they went by. I eventually called the cops in that area (they thought I was kidding, seeing I'm 250 miles away from the location but showed up and actually did something!) . I try to always be courteous, not be in a place to concern the crew, or be rude to anyone, and have even asked before if I was OK where i was..

    I used to live by BNSF's Fallbridge subdivision in Washougal, WA. One night, I was taking photos of a BN train at the 6th street crossing in Washougal. After the train passed, I got confronted by two women who had a young girl with them. One of the women asked me if I was taking pictures of the train. I said yes, and the women walked away. But they came back and started doing things like pretending to take photos of me and my little pickup that I was sitting in. They pretended to write my license plate number down, and just generally acted like I'd done something wrong. Kept watching me. I didn't understand why they were doing that, but I eventually got it off my mind. It was later when I got the photos back, and I saw that they were in the pictures with the train in the background. A few weeks later, I found out that the house I'd been parked next to had been used for a meth lab. These women must have thought I was with the police, or a neighborhood watch and was taking photos to turn them into the police. Stupid. I'd never seen these women before in my life, did not know anything about them or that house. But, honestly, they would not have had to worry about my being there taking train photos if they had not been doing things that are illegal.

Railfans are just minding they own business enjoying documenting trains, and people come to disturb them for whatever dumbass reason like this. As you stated, as long as the railfan KNOWS they’re in the right, they’re ok.

    so really, i feel the pain. it would be the cherry on the cake if someone unironically told me ”why cant you enjoy this hobby from home?”.

    I've seen videos where the public has been attacked and threatened by railroad employees from the opposite side of the road from where the tracks are, just for videotaping trains. And they call the railroad bull out, or the county sheriff, and get people ran off the public road, which we pay taxes on, because of it.
    Why can't railroad people understand there are actual railroad enthusiasts out here?

      They know who you are, they’re afraid of losing their jobs because a manager watched your video of them and saw them break some obscure rule in a rule book about 6” thick.
      Those managers are like small town cops that were the school bullies when they were young and got the cop job so they could continue to bully their schoolmates for the rest of their lives. They can and will take those train crew’s jobs from them for the most minor offense.

      Apparently, not all Railroads are alike. I am a Retired BNSF employee, and this is BNSF's policy: "BNSF appreciates its railfan photographers and thanks them for their interest in BNSF and its trains. For safety reasons, BNSF can't grant access to its property for photography purposes. Photography of BNSF operations must be done from a safe location outside of railroad property.
      Encounters between BNSF police and photographers are generally casual in nature and not documented unless there is a criminal violation or circumstance that would warrant further law enforcement action or enforcement. BNSF Police reinforce guidance on this issue to officers in the field so that continues to be common practice. 
      We value the support the rail community provides to our officers and rely on their continuing understanding that the intent of any contact by police is part an effort to further the safety of our railway and the communities where we operate."
      If you have a bad interaction with a BNSF Employee and you are not on property, turn them into the nearest Trainmaster.
