[Scan-DC] SEPTA Railfan Guide and Signals

[Rick Hansen]

Hi Blair, 

You can find some of the data from "archive.org" - 
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://felttip.com/svmetro/septawatch/* 

Also, you might ask the owner if they would forward their old file, and that
another railfan take responsibility for posting the data. There are a lot of
places to post the data.

Good luck! 

Rick

Hi. Your page http://www.railroadsignals.us/septa/ needs an update. 

By the way, there used to be a site,
http://felttip.com/svmetro/septawatch/signals/, with animated gifs of NORAC
signals. When I could no longer find it, I wrote the author. He said he took
it down and won't be restoring it. Do you know if anyone saved a copy of
that page? I used to have it, but I lost what seems to have been my only
copy.

Thanks.

Copy to SCAN-DC for the "prohibited" photography angle.

"I'm guessing most of us are aware of the federal law prohibiting the
photography of government buildings, and unfortunately, railroad stations DO
fall under this law...."

Snapping a picture of a federal building from public property is every
photographer's right. Unfortunately, in recent years, pointing a camera at
federal building seems to magnetically attract suspicion from federal
security officers.

The New York Civil Liberties Union has encountered several cases of people
who were unjustly harassed, detained and arrested by federal agents while
photographing or videotaping federal buildings from public plazas and
sidewalks.

Last year, we sued the U.S Department of Homeland Security in federal court
to end this practice. In October, a judge signed a settlement in which the
government agreed that no federal statutes or regulations bar people from
photographing the exterior of federal buildings. It also agreed to issue a
directive to members of the Federal Protective Service (the agency
responsible for all government buildings) on photographers' rights."

"The next time you're hounded by the police after trying to snap yourself a
pretty little photo of the White House, show them this printed-out document
from the Homeland Security department, stating you're allowed to do so."
