Just For some brief information, After filming the union pacific manifest, a gentleman in a car Pulled off to the side of the road and turn down to the small trucking area, and asked what was going on and if I was OK, I assured him that everything was OK he had a quite worried expression on his face and went on his way, however whilst I was waiting for Amtrak 11, I Rode around town for a couple of minutes just to kill some time, when I noticed Dixon police flagging the nearby railroad crossings, I figured they were just checking them to make sure everything was OK for in the morning, boy was I wrong, little did I know in fact they were looking for me, once I returned to 113 The same police officer that I saw pulled off to chat with a lady that was walking on the tracks, I didn’t hear too much of the conversation but then he focused his attention to me, he pulled over switched on his lights got out and asked what was going on and I told him and then he said that they got a call from somebody that I was supposedly walking on the tracks, my guess it was that same guy who stopped to check if I was OK, I 100% appreciate everybody’s concern but I believe with a camera in and an app I think that will seal the deal that I’m not there to do something stupid, then again people are dumb enough to send a shopping cart barreling to a freight train for it to get destroyed I guess that’s one reason why I cut out a few portions of The police confrontation because I did have to tell the general area where I lived, and after showing him some footage of my past catches on that same day, I think he realize that it was not there to trespass or vandalize he double checked with his sergeant and all was well, and as I was leaving way after I shut off the camera (after Amtrak 11) I saw the same officer again and waved at him he waved back, So kids that are watching us don’t be stupid around railroad tracks because people will find you and they will contact the police, I was just lucky that I wasn’t doing anything stupid, Now trust me you’ve Probably seen some pretty stupid things on my channel, Video wise and stunt wise, But when it comes to railroad tracks I stay back and I don’t do anything stupid and haven’t in over 7 years, And yes I have changed my Ways since then, so for the kids again that are watching this please be careful on railroad tracks and please be careful while you were filming, and this goes for all railfanners.
