Remember... Never take a selfie at the edge of a platform, on the track, bridges or foot board of a moving train Inform the station master and other appropriate staff about your presence in an area when you are railfanning (in case of any trouble or if help is needed) Do not go alone especially in lonely and remote areas Apply for and carry appropriate permits while visiting restricted areas, yards, sheds, inside locomotives Have an up to date timetable. Do not walk on tracks. And more so at points where another track veers away. Sturdy and strong shoes or boots are best for hiking and walking along tracks. Beware of dangerous animals. Tracks may harbour a wide variety of nasty creatures such as scorpions or venomous snakes Never go under a stationary train, or locomotive; as far as possible avoid going on to bridges, tunnels or underpasses especially at night...

Do not ride an engine without official permission. You are risking arrest.

Travel SAFE

1. RailFanning does NOT MEAN dangerous pics/videos.
2. Doorplating pics/youtube videos are strictly FORBIDDEN in IRI.
3. Take plenty of food pics and other safe pics.
4. Write human interest narratives to make the pics interesting.
5. Enjoy blogging and travelling SAFELY.

REMEMBER: YOUR LIFE is the most precious thing, NOT RailFanning.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
