Amtrak and PA State Police

rrmilepost.com went to the Keystone Corridor, to view some high speed passenger traffic, we asked a hobby shop owner where a good place to view them was, and he told us, "along pa 741, the tracks run right next to the road" we ventured there, but little did we know, we were in for a meeting with the police. Filmed near Gap Pennsylvania.

Yeah my dads a PA trooper, they just don't really understand why your there. Just wanted to see if you were doin anything you shouldn't be..

@4202EJW Thanks for the comment! We at rrmilepost completely understand that it is their job to check out suspicious activity, and this video was simply made to be funny, since the camera man himself is employed by a class 1 railroad, even showing railroad identification, and being let go with no warning, or order to leave. It was comical how it all went down, and in the end, we respect the police and only railfan with the law in mind. note: PSP did have Ohio police do a follow up.

What the hell is this?

@kommon12Cents This video is supposed to be funny. rrmilepost was out train watching on the Amtrak Keystone Corridor, when the PSP showed up to investigate exactly why we were there. Not a lot of police officers are used to seeing railfans, this especially being true in the rural area that we were in. The photographer stood there for about 40 minutes, while getting a background check, and having 3 police cars respond. He was let go without even a warning. Thanks for viewing our video.

I went to the spot several times. Never had any problems there. Last time Amtrak signal maintainers were out working on the new system. The one scene from the movie Witness was shot hear.
