Thunderbolt3985 started this post over at nyctba.com and I thought it would be a good idea to bring it over here as well.http://forum.nyctba.com/showthread.php?t=2194In short, that proposed photoban no longer exists. This should be seen as huge victory for railfanning and railroad photography in general.This decision may cause other transit authorities and railroads to follow the same path. Though there will be more restrictions in place, amateur photography will still be permitted in the New York Subway. Just don't use a flash.Thunderbolt3985: Thanks for informing the NYTBA.com/SubTalk community about this development.
