Whether your photos are taken with your phone or taken by a professional photographer, there are some places you should avoid because they are located on private property.
Obviously, you don't want to go into someone's yard to snap a photo sitting by a blooming bush. But, there are some places that are on private property that you may not realize are off-limits.
The places are very popular for photo ops, especially graduation photos. The places you shouldn't be taking photos are on or near railroad tracks.
Can you take photos and videos on a railroad track?
Photo and video shoots on or near railroad tracks and trains are illegal and dangerous. No photo, video, or selfie is worth the risk.
What do the laws say about taking photos and videos on railroad tracks?
According to individual state laws,
Indiana code provides that it is a Class B misdemeanor for anyone to drive, walk or ride along the right-of-way or yard of a railroad company at a place other than a public crossing. The code section also defines the terms used and outlines the differences between the various classes of misdemeanors and felonies. Ind. Code § 8-3-15-3 (1999).
In Kentucky,
A person is guilty of criminal trespass in the third degree if they are on the track, property or the right-of-way, other than while passing over the track or the right-of-way at a public or private crossing. Anyone doing so is subject to a maximum fine of twenty-five dollars for the first violation, fifty dollars for the second, and a maximum fine of one hundred dollars for the third and subsequent violations. KY. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 277.350 (Baldwin (1999).
