This is, of course, photography from strictly public areas, no flash or tripod, and done in a way that would not interfere with transportation or passenger flow (ie standing in a corner of the station and taking a NON-flash shot of the scene.)

Anyone have any experiences?

-Amtrak, A few years ago there was a big court case involving a newspaper who published photos taken by a photographer at an accident scene on the NJ Turnpike. There was a Turnpike Authority regulation prohibiting the shooting of photographs along the big toll road. I don't know how the case ended, though.

-I can remember standing on the platform at Boston College Green Line station in Boston. I was taking pictures of the trollies, when all of a sudden I was told by MBTA people NO PICTURES.

I left this spot and moved to another station and no one hassled me.

-The Boston College station is a streetcar stop in the median of a public street.

I hardly think the MBTA can tell you what to do with your camera while standing in the middle of a street.
