It has become difficult to watch trains ever since the World Trade Center destruction. The headquarters of Burlington Northern Santa Fe is here in Fort Worth, and getting into the office is like getting ready to board an airplane. And you can't hang around over the switching yards watching the trains, police or other officials will ask you what you're doing and chase you off. Damned depressing, considering that the watchers might actually be the ones who would see something that needed reporting, bombers aren't likely to hang out on over passes to watch the activity.
