Access to the diamonds was restricted because jerk railfans don't know how to have a good time without drinking? Have you lost your mind? How about it is private property and anyone there is trespassing, poses a risk to operations and is a potential lawsuit waiting to happen? It sure sounds to me like you are one of the "privileged" railfans that somehow thinks railroad property is a place that railfans have a right to access. Just be thankful access was available at the diamonds for as long as it was but don't criticize people on this board and railfans in general. There are some bad apples amongst us just like there are bad apples amongst any group of people. Just live with it and don't get so worked up about it.
