While I am not a personal user of scanners, it just never interested me, a lot of people do, and there is nothing wrong with that. But for those that do, do the rest of us that enjoy watching, photographing, and doing videography of trains a favor: do not under any circumstances ever call a train and give it a roll by inspection if your radio has transmitting capabilities. This happened last week in Lansing, the railroad police were called, and unfortunately, those that did it left before they could get there. Whoever did this is beyond stupid, I will not hold back saying that, you are a moron, I wish you could have been caught and faced the consequences of your idiotic actions. What you did is a crime and it is taken very seriously, and it makes the rest of us who just want to watch or record them VIA photo or video look suspicious given the world we live in.
A lot can be said for being somewhat inconspicuous watching trains, it goes a long ways for those who just want to enjoy doing this without being treated like were members of ISIS, and I usually don't care for the people who post these types of threads, but here is some advice for you in the future:
