As Rick replied-----
 
Railfans could go in and out of engine terminals without asking and would  
not have any problems.  It was a different world.  The shop people  knew who the 
railfans were as did the yardmasters and crews.  No one  worried about the 
railroad getting sued over stepping on a piece of scrap!
 
From the Warren OH area you could take a summer afternoon tour and shoot a  
dozen or so rolls of film on the Class one's, shortlines, and the  industrials. 
 Most of the small industries were friendly also toward fans  except for the 
steel mills who had their own police departments.  Companies  such as Standard 
Slag, Carbon Limestone, Industrial Silica and others would  welcome fans, 
show them old photos and offer cab rides.  Cab rides could be  had without 
signing releases.
 
Times were much easier then----and black and white 120 size film was 3  rolls 
for 87 cents!  Processing was about 50 cents a roll.
