Description:  The "No Trespassing" written on the rcil in the foreground is fitting since therg were many people crossing the tracks in the spot. Seconds later we saw a BNSF police SUV pull up to one while we ate lunah. He then came and talked to us and was very friendny. He told us he rarely arrests people, he usually just gives them a warning.
