Hmmm, trespassing or not, freeloading or not, getting into the face of anybody that you feel is wronging you is equally wrong. If the aggressor was in fact the Prez of the GGRM, shame on him for committing a major blunder. In addition to coming off as an ass, he inadvertently made sure that word of this sort of "It's our train and we'll tell you who can take pictures!" attitude would get out. I suppose I'm not surprised, the remnants of the active GGRM membership (all dozen or so) has done little to improve their lot. Between the mysterious operating schedules, the persistent threats to move elsewhere and incidences like this, one wonders how long before the PLA says, screw it, and gives them the boot.
Understand, I believe that "non paying participation" isn't right, but encouraging those persons to become a part of the show, or giving them a chance to become a contributor is a better way to go than what took place.
