I remember the "good ol days" when us kids would walk the tracks, with a couple shot guns, shooting anything that moved, rabbits or ducks. When a train would come along, we would just step aside, guess things have changed. We flattened a lot of pennies too! This was in Solano county ca.

The Road Runner model didn't start until the '68 model year.

Wyomingmedic, you paint a pretty bleak picture of the horrors that will befall someone who gets near RR tracks. But I'm sure you've been in small towns (heck, even big ones), where RR tracks go right through town, border businesses, etc... And people cross them, or walk along-side of them, all the time. In my city, for instance, the RR tracks go right through our "blighted" district (aka "chinatown" district). And there is a perpetual homeless persons's shanty town little tent-city there (near the rescue mission soup-kitchen district). And ........ no one seems to pay them mind. Nor somone walking down the tracks, etc...

I'm not saying that this necessarily means that if I called the RR and asked "Hi, can I walk along-side the tracks please?" that they'd say "sure, go ahead". Of course they'd be obligated to say "no". And perhaps even recite all types of stuff like you've listed here. But...... in actual practice ....... people walk along side tracks all the time.

not sure how this turned out but recently the railroad decided people couldn't park their cars
along the track in Tremont (see: Railroad) because of this
Tremont decided they would try & charge the railroad a fee for every RR car that comes through town

again, I haven't read any updates.

Railroad

Another parking problem had surfaced last month, this one along Crescent Street where the Reading and Northern Railroad Company has erected "No Parking" signs along their tracks.
Since receiving the letter informing the board of the action which would be effective August 30, Donmoyer said he has been looking for a place for residents to park. Richmond Screw, he said, has been asked, but there is always a question of liability. The borough has offered to put up a fence so people could not park close to the tracks, as well as keep the weeds cut, but the railroad company would not agreed.

I work for a state prison in Texas, and haven't had much issue anywhere I have detected with my State ID on my person when detecting. I research for many months before going out to a ghost town area, and often check with local law enforcement and am told as long as there are no historical markers directly at the site it is ok if I don't talk much about the location and as long as I ask permission if on private property they could care less.

 

[WVPapaw]

Or how about this one. Would anyone dare cross this?

Heck, I might even metal detect that path. With that much heavy foot traffic some people are going to drop stuff. LOL !!!

 

[WVPapaw]

I did the same thing as a boy for countless summers. I never knew I could get arrested.

Me too. Used to put pennies on the tracks just to see how big they got when the train ran over them.

I don't understand this at all. My buddies and I have been pushing RR tracks for 25 years pheasant hunting. We have never been harrassed in anyway. We have been stopped by the DNR officials to ask us for license - though they never said anything about being on the tracks..........baffles my mind.........

 

[gerryk]

My dad tok me pheasant hunting around the tracks when i was a kid. Last fall i took a hunters safely course with my son so he could hunt. Dnr explained to everyone that hunting is not allowed on rr tracks or their rite of way.
I asked my dad and he said when he was younger they always hunted there, that someone must have said it was ok.
In reality the rr tracks and rite of way are personal property. It would be just the same as if i walked onto your property and started detecting.
Just because we or our friends or fathers did it doesnt make it right.

If the charge was trespassing he should have taken your shoes not your detector for evidence.
