ALWAYS RESPECT RAILROAD PROPERTY!
Because of the reasons below (and many more), you should NEVER play with any equipment, harass railroad employees, or do anything else stupid to get yourself and others killed!
TRAINS ARE DANGEROUS
2000+ ton pieces of equipment that move suddenly, violently, and without regard for YOU! Although most locomotives (units) are equipped with rear-view mirrors the engineer probably isn't looking for you climbing around 40 cars back. Even if you're just standing around admiring the equipment you can be run over by a fast approaching train or a "midnight creeper" in the yard. If this doesn't sound familiar to you don't even go near the rails until you've done some reading!
TRAINS ARE EXPENSIVE
and can carry enough Lysol in just one car that you would probably have to sell your car to pay for it! The railroad has employees (REAL police officers) guarding all that Lysol too. Railroading is one of the oldest industries in the country and is protected by some very old FEDERAL LAWS written back when they used to hang people so don't break or steal anything!
