I used to go through this ritual almost every time I wandered into the BK shop area during
daylight hours, M-F. This nice Asian lady who worked in the office would come out and ask
me if I worked for the railroad. I'd answer no, then she'd ask if I had a pass and I'd say
no again. At this point she'd politely tell me I was trespassing and I'd leave. At nite
or on weekends, it was different and the mechanics and hostlers didn't care at all.
