After the Cajon Group discussion on the extent of the Union Pacific
property rights, I thought I'd post something from the California Penal
Code...
369i. (a) Any person
who enters or remains upon the property of any railroad without the
permission of the owner of the land, the owner's agent, or the person in
lawful possession and whose entry, presence, or conduct upon the
property interferes with, interrupts, or hinders, or which, if allowed
to continue, would interfere with, interrupt, or hinder the safe and
efficient operation of any locomotive, railway car, or train is guilty
of a misdemeanor.
As used in this subdivision, "property of any
railroad" means any land owned, leased, or possessed by a railroad upon
which is placed a railroad track and the land immediately adjacent
thereto, to the distance of 20 feet on either side of the track, which
is owned, leased, or possessed by a railroad.
Within a
few seconds of my post, I got a reply from Ted York, "Just don't hinder
the operation of the BNSF and you are ok. In the case of the UP just
spot them a five dollar bill!" I responded with, "You ain't kidding. My
buddy and I were at LAUPT Sunday checking out the Officer's Special when
"Security" told us we were in a restricted area and needed to leave.
His accent was so thick we could barely understand him. Should've asked
if I could buy him a cup of (insert regional hot
drink here).
For those who don't know, Ted York is featured in the current Model Railroad Planning Guide. He has a great HO scale layout depicting Cajon Pass.
