mark1447 Posted March 4, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2009 So today I was heading to 207 to spot some R38s to see if there is any in service[Which there is 4120 i saw at 135th strete, review my latest comment on the RIP R38 topic]. ANyways.. I saw an R1/9 in the southern part of the Yd, thats next to 207th on Van Cortland(1). And I saw a R32 Graffitied bad, sounds like its from Jamaica as it has the roll signes set[Got pics will show later] and then I see a 38 ready for scrapping So then I take a shot, here comes some security guard , a lady who looks like shes russian, an old lady. She says: Na dont take a pic, its not allowed! I say: Yes it is, I back up and take out the Rules of Conduct 0=) She says: What is it you showing me? Me: Look at this page, where it says Photograpy is allowed: 1050.9 = C: Photography, filming or video recording in any facility or conveyance is permitted except that ancillary equipment such as lights, reflectors or tripods may not be used. Members of the press holding valid identification issued by the New York City Police Department are hereby authorized to use necessary ancillary equipment. All photographic activity must be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this Part. She looks in the front page, and I point her Back to the Photo page, she reads, shaking her head like "NO". At the end she says: Nope you still cant take pictures, someone told me Me: Yes I can and Idc cuz I will still take pictures on the train no matter wat Lady: You need eh a permit to take pictures Me in my head: WTF? A permit, for Pictures??! LOL Then she points to an Oil Pipe with a sign, she says: Call that number and ask them if you can take pics! .... mmmm no wait, yes call them! Me: I'm uhhhhhhhh?! I dont need to call anyone cuz I can take pics, but I dont care. I will still take pics no matter wat! So I leave, and for fun I take my pics under the EL hehe __________ First off: How the hell do you need a Permit to take a Pic?!!! And how can you tell me call this oil company for questions on taking pics! Geez does the MTA need to higher the worst people. She sounds like shes worth 5 cents.. And she isnt suppose to ignore the rules at all... Even if Anyways Idc anymore, I still take pics, I'm very happy that the T/Os C/Rs B/os or wat ever here know the rules! And for those of you who are out there taking Pics, WITH OUT THE CONDUCT, you rly need to fix yourself and PRINT the FULL Conduct. Because one day you will end up like that poor S/A from the Freeman street statiom god forbid! PRINT IT OUT NOW: http://www.mta.info/nyct/rules/rules.htm Not just the part for pics, but the entire Webpage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 5278 Posted March 4, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 4, 2009 Should've reminded her that democracy runs our nation, not totalitarianism and that she should be deployed to North Korea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted March 4, 2009 Share #11 Posted March 4, 2009 I don't know man. Something smells fishy. So far it's almost always been you that manages to get attention when railfanning. I've gone railfanning with SubaruWRX and he has those huge Nikon cameras and we've never been stopped or question. It makes me wonder what your actions are conveying that brings the attention of MTA personnel that you aren't mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 4, 2009 Share #14 Posted March 4, 2009 I worked 207 YD for 6 months and yes I know that women she lays down the law with all workers that go in and out of the Yard. She didn't let me park because I don't have a sticker for 207YD but I have a NYCT permit to park in the Yard. However she is a nice person because I got to know her over time but still can't park in the Yd. She don't forget a face so if you swing by I sure she will remember you.

It makes me wonder what your actions are conveying that brings the attention of MTA personnel that you aren't mentioning. No, it is not me 100%. I'm not some crazy person just getting in areas for fun. I know the rules and stick by em. I guess some people just dont know the rules.. I did follow what you said about not mentioning about C/R or working with T/A in future.. I go to various places and I guess i meet up with new workers. Some Ive showed them the rules and I won regarding the conduct, and a small amount just denies to view them or thinks the rules are a fake. [Even tho the rules is real, got 2 copies just incase one at home and one with me] I guess what sometimes bring attention to the workers, is when they see me stay a little to long at a subway/El station, which I will be honest I do. Just to grab a few fleets and/or improve on my shots and create videos, plus I stay at ether end of the station [Depends on where the best view is] to get shots, but I dont see anything against the rules on being at the same station for long.. Might just take my shots after like 5-10min of waiting and leave.. I dunno. Sounds like people are just doing it to prevent terrorism, I understand and respect, but just dont go over the line... @Pelham Bay Dave you still work at 207 or on the Jamima still? The lady was a little nice, but she kept denying my words and proof of the T/A's Conduct.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 4, 2009 Share #17 Posted March 4, 2009 I don't work the Yards anymore I'm on the mainline. I'm on the mostly and loving it! I hate to tell you but that paper don't mean anything to us. Some supervisors instruct us to notify Control if you are taking pictures and let the NYPD do an investigation.

FamousNYLover Posted March 4, 2009 Share #19 Posted March 4, 2009 It not only on subways. When some of us, including NYCTF/SubwayChat, Strappies were waiting for Vintage Bus at front of MJQ (except me) taking pictures of buses and including Vintage Bus, here was one. Security Guard: Why are you taking picture? Vintage Hunter: It is legal. Security Guard: You can't take pic here in front of depot. Vintage Hunter: Yes, I can. It's under rule. Just then Vinny the B/O pulls out Vintage Bus out of garage. Security Guard: You can't take pic here. Vintage Hunter: That bus (He points to bus) Security Guard: You have to take it in corner. While I was on M4, Bus Operator stop me when I was taking video of bus passing Atlantic Express/Plaza Hotel. She told me I not allowed to take pic. Even the Dispatcher told me I not allowed to take pic inside bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted March 4, 2009 Share #21 Posted March 4, 2009 This needs to stop. and all agencies should have rules at every station office and inside every bus. I am so tired of the lack of consistency in knowledge & enforcement of these rules. I am not going to break the law or violate rules of any agency, all workers and contractors etc should know the rules from day 1. Why do i know more than the person bothering me who works for the agency?! - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to offer a URL to the OFFICIAL rules, not a small basic list of rules. I would be so happy if I'd see a rule in the station allowing photography!

And you only work on the not the ? I don't work the anymore I hate that line! I really hate this subjuct because everytime I post the real policy everyone want to fight me. Yes its legal to take pictures in NYCT but if your taken pictures of certain things your suppose to be reported to the police. I personally never confronted anyone who violated the rules just got on the radio and made a report. None of it involied picture taken only reported a person with a video camra because my partner wanted to push it and the funny part is after the investigation it turned out to be Fox News. Talking about the I remember a few years ago they were treating to write up train crews if they were cought not reporting persons taken video or pictures on the platfrom or trains. It was funny and didn't last long. They changed it to use your judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
