Viewing Album:  08/16/07: LaGrange & Hinsdale, IL (Trespassing Ticket on the BNSF bridge in LaGrange)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:8/16/2007 - 8/16/2007
Album Info:I had a day off today so I decided to go to one of my favorite spots as a child, LaGrange Crossing. I hadn't been there in a year and my father used to take me there when I was in grammar school and we used to climb up on the BNSF bridge and videotape trains. Well today I didn't think twice about climbing up there and after about an hour and a half a BNSF, IHB or CSX (I couldn't tell which) track crew that was driving by reported me to the LaGrange P.D. A short while later a squad car showed up and I came down off the bridge where I was promptly issued a trespassing citation. I was clearly a railfan taking pictures and had the camera to prove it but the cop didn't ask to see them and I didn't want to argue so I just kept my mouth shut. Now I have to take a day off and go to court for this. Attention LaGrange railfans, STAY OFF THE BRIDGE.
