AMTRAK - Jan 2006
Response from Media Relations: Photography of trains from public property - not railroad property - is permitted. Persons not holding tickets for trains scheduled for immediate departure may not enter station train platforms, thus non-passengers are prohibited from photography from train platforms. Passengers holding tickets may take photographs from train platforms while waiting to board a specific train for which they hold tickets or immediately after alighting from a train. "Snapshots" or other amateur photography that does not interfere with passengers or crew is permitted on board trains. Any other photography requires permission obtained in advance.

Basically, this [proposed NY City film permit ordinance] opens the door to unlimited police interactions with photographers and filmmakers, because under these proposed rules, if they were passed, basically everyone with a camera, including everyone with a cell phone, would be someone who might have to have a permit to do photography... with all the people out there with cameras, most people are going to be left alone. This is going to give the police license to stop people they want to stop for whatever reason they want. And you can imagine who the likely targets are of that sort of enforcement... People with dark skin, people who look suspicious in the eyes of the police... It's going to be the people who tend to be harassed by the police in other contexts. -- Christopher Dunn
