Useful Useful Agree:Happened with me too recently
Has anyone had any questions asked
/conversation with Railways staff/RPF while doing railfanning?


I had one recently;I was capturing few photos at the station and there were back to back trains arriving,departing
...

and shunting;I was standing at the front end where I could see the loco&few RPFs were also there.

After a few mins,one RPF asked where I was planning to go and then I told I had a ticket(Suburban) to the next few stations.

Then they asked for ID card! And name and age!!(No issues whatsoever;looked more like a formality check as there are news of people running away from families etc etc ...)

After that they asked why I'm capturing trains to which I replied I really like trains;they just laughed 😁.

I continued taking pics after that;they didn't mind :)

Just wanted to share my experience here!
Do share yours too!

Never got interrupted by anyone, RPF just walks past. Most of the times I'm with luggage, so no issues. Even when we randomly went to stations just for the sake of it or to capture something random. No one bothers. Even TTEs never interfere.

Similar to Siddharth's incident, the LP of MG train talked to me and told me a lot of things about the train, locomotives, and the route. So, it's been a good experience overall. I think people who solely go for content may be bothered, as a few people

say that RPF interferes.

I've a particular frame in mind, I'll try capturing it sometime later. It is notorious for RPF activity due to being a major suicide point. I'll let you know the experience.

I think ALP acknowledged you!!

I have seen many LP/ALPs waving/smiling at camera!!
I have captured right in front of RPFs;today was the first time;maybe because I was standing at a place where passengers usually dont come!

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
