Except for a possible delay in Oakland, I would say probably not. The bigger question regarding OWS and the railroads is the big four that have huge standing police forces with power of arrest. When we allowed railroads to have special agents we never ever intended them to have huge standing police forces. To fix that we should completely strip railroads of their police because these armed "officers" do not serve the community and they do not have the community's best interests at heart. They serve a corporate master. It's grossly anti-American and even a threat to the Constitution itself for you to be detained, questioned, interrogated really, while on public property by an armed officer who blindly serves a corporation. This is a way how the "corporatocacy" affects the lives of railfans and by extention something that OWS is trying to defeat. At least in the spirit of things or in the greater picture with corporations having way too much power and negatively affecting the lives of Americans. If railroads have a need for police officers for whatever reason, they should rely on local or state police to do the job - like the rest of us. Allowing railroads to have large stating police forces is a big mistake, it's anti-American, and needs to be corrected.
