The Chicago Transit Authority has declared war against both photographers and railfans. In an ad which can be seen here, the authority equates photography with terrorism and enlists the public’s help in reporting photographers. The CTA rules specifically permit photography, therefore this ad and its implications are an outrage, both to photographers and the railroad enthusiasts that will continue to be harassed and abused by the authorities in Chicago.

    I sent an email to a friend who works for CTA in the head office. Like me, he’s a railfan. Hopefully these ads won’t be there for long.
