I googled the heck out of the guys name and found that he has something to do with safety and security or the like.
I think, like most said, these are CYA notices. They are by no means a citation....they can't write citations. These appear to be along the same idea as me writing a letter to Joe Blow to not come onto my property anymore or he will be subject to prosecution. It's just a notice that the offender can be prosecuted.
Swimmer & Mike - I believe back about 10 years ago or so, the state came up with some law requiring each and every railroad to have it's own "Police Agency" back when. I had 2 guys (Chief included) in my academy that were from a railroad with 2 miles of track. They were explaining it was an "Honorary" title but that each RR needed police. Maybe this guy is the "answer" Cape Rail came up with. He has no Police Powers but is in charge of Safety & Security and this is his way of covering the rails arse.
Yeah, I could see getting a call for that. If it were me, "Yeah, I'm enroute. Ok, now that was 2 crullers, 2 chocolate glazed....."
*** Edit *** Like I told Mike, it is best to keep a cool head. By attacking this fool etc. you are just giving him more ammunition to take the situation even further. If he is, in fact, in charge of the RR, I believe he also has the authority to seek criminal charges through the courts for any infractions, I.e. trespassing after notice. And don't think for a moment that he can't get your plate info. Everybody knows somebody (...sometimes)
