not sure who does what where canal is, my point is that "train police" do exist in some places |
To my knowledge, this also applies to MA. I knew a Chief and Patrolman of the "Grafton/Upton Railroad." Literally, about 1 mile of tracks, however some law required enforcement of track trespassing etc. The "Owner" of the tracks "hired" a police force. They had a Toyota Camry or something and had the legal right to enforce trespassing etc. They went to a state academy as RR police and received their powers. Now, that RR has since been bought out but my point is that there may be some sort of RR police, whether it's a "manager" with the powers or something is unknown.
Also, if it's the MBTA, wouldn't the MBTA police also have jurisdiction? If so, watch out!
