Bradley Bates	General	Nice shot, how did you get down here?	2/12/2012 11:03:21 PM

William H. Davis Jr.	General	Thanks Bradley, I drive in when I hear the train coming, I try to time it where I drive in as the train is coming so I can hop out & get my shot, then get right back in my vehicle & get out of there, NS special agents don't want you to trespass at 27th Street, but if I don't see any special agents around I'll drive in to get my shot & drive right back out, I don't like staying there because you'll get reported by some of the employees & you'll be a sitting duck for the special agents to run you out of there, I've been run out from there several times by a few of the not so friendly special agents, but a few of them are friendly & will let you get your shot as long as you don't walk on or across any tracks, I usually don't see special agents on weekends, but weekdays they're around, I use the railroad access road that goes alongside NS from 32nd Street down to 24th Street, got to watch out for special agents, debris that might give you a flat, & even transients that might try to rob you	2/13/2012 5:25:27 AM
