Nothing new ... RR Police face the most dangerous task, patroling on foot, without backup within 150 miles, trudging down rough ballast on foot, facing armed criminals, breaking into trains.


On Camden NJ RR Police officer was set up, and surrounded for "busting" one of their gang freinds on a previous night, for stealing bags of Or Ida Tater Tot's ... he was so badly beaten about the head, with a "dutchman" brake hose adaptor, that he never returned to work, ever again.

To day, organized gangland criminals, who survey the trains contents on the internet, regulary break into trains to steal TV's an other "fencable" electronics, and the purpertrators are rarely caught in these low life, drug infested, high crime areas, like West Colton CA, Detroit MI ... etc ...

Sometimes the ill gotten "Booty" is highly regarded 40 lb box's of USDA Grade A Government Surplus Butter ... and RR police risk their lives, and are assaulted over this nonsence.

This is yet but another reason to always watch your back at all times whenever you are filming around railroad property.

Several Green Frog and Pentrex videos I have tell you go in pairs, keep aware of your surroundings and leave well before dark.

That's why I spend my time at home behind locked doors watching train videos, looking at pictures and running Trainz.
