There are no reasons for QR or any rail operators in Australia to ban
people from photographing trains and infrastructures. None of the
operator expereince constant threatening from terrorist, exactly what
are they afraid of?

On the other hand I did notice some of the SMs and staffs of citytrain
can be a bit too rude especially to school kids and teenagers . Couple
of years ago I saw the SM in Bald Hill threw a few school bags over the
fence because "they are blocking the way", also in Cleveland when
couple of teenagers ask for where can they get the shuttle bus to ferry
terminal, the staff reply "None of our F***ing business".
