thanks man! I was stoked to get that shot, though I found out that it is illegal to shoot on any tracks. This is even if it isn't fenced off.

Really...! How is it illegal to take photos of tracks if there in an open accessible area?
And you see this stuff all the time. Or is this a restriction only in LA. Los Angeles has so many restrictions.
I don't understand the stipulations of that.

transit cop told me. tracks, since there are so many miles, are the only exception. normally you need a no trespassing sign or a reasonable fencing. railroads don't need that.

Well I know you can't be on Metro train tracks for sure.
But other tracks.
There train tracks near and in residential areas.
Even as a kid I walked along tracks going to school.
What should I watch out for IF...I get the opportunity.

I'm doing a shoot with a model in a few weeks.
And we were talking about finding tracks to get a few photos.
I wish it was not so difficult to photograph in LA.

seriously. if no one sees you, then it's fine, kind of... one article talked about how if the image was published (railfans) they would use the image as proof of trespassing.
