Some 19 years ago I went on my first railfan tour to the US. I din't
know much about how american railroads were back then, but since I
know I would be in the Sherman Hill area, I wrote a letter to the UP
for a permit.

I enventually got a release, signed the copy and sent it back to
Omaha. The text on the release stated that I should show the release
to the local boss in every area I visited, so in Cheyenne I went into
the station building and was taken to an elderly gentleman in an
office.

He looked for quite a while at my release, beeing quiet all the time.
Then he shook his head and said: "Oh my, they do write some funny
papers back in Omaha!"

So much for that release...
