Stop Track Portraits !

Another FB Page to enlighten the public.

Stop Railroad Track Portraits/  < link to Facebook Page


Facebook Page with photos and information on why this is dangerous and illegal.


This page was created by a Railroad enthusiast, for other Rail Enthusiasts, railroad officials and safety officers, to educate the dangers of posing their subjects on railroad tracks.

Why? Its Dangerous, and is Trespassing on Private Property. Would you want someone taking portraits of people you don't know in your own home?

A lot of people are doing it, but not ONE of them was taken legally.

Anyone who is caught posing people on railroad tracks, either Active, or abandoned, can be charged with Trespassing, and depending on the state you live in, Endangering the welfare of the public, Endangering the welfare of a child, reckless endangerment, and, to the most extreme if a person is injured, involuntary manslaughter.

A train CAN NOT stop on a dime, they can take up to 10,000 feet to come to a complete stop, and also remember,the train crew are humans, if they do hit and kill someone, they must live with that for the rest of their lives, knowing that they killed someone and there was nothing that they could do.

Tracks are for trains, NOT for Portrait studios to pose people.

Remember Operation Lifesavers motto: "See Tracks? Think Train!"
