It would be a great way to get photos in secure areas, if you had your own bus. HAHAHA

These are the types of guys who spend their whole lives hanging around the railroad and act as though they know more than the guys who actually work there. I wouldn't be surprised if he's somewhere on the autism spectrum though-my wife works with autistic kids and lots of them develop fixations with certain things. She's known more than a few who are obsessed with trains-think the the kid from Polar Express-you know the one I'm talking about

But Nexis would hijack a train if he was gonna do it.
EDIT: UH OH, I didn't read the whole article or the rest of the posts...shall we start passing the hat for bail money?

I don't think this is Nexis. Nexis said he is 19 years old, and this guy's been doing his thing since 1981.
Maybe Nex went to get his autograph, though!

Nexis, I'm sorry if I insulted you. I didn't know that you have Aspergers, & was just joking around because when I think of trains & NJ, I think of you.
hey Nexis, actually I think your pretty cool and I also think the others here really love your posts and info!!! I have a new fasination with that light rail thing. I am totally psyched to ride that thing all day long!! I am a people watcher and what better way than the LIGHT RAIL! I wish we had more people like you with a vast knowledge of all that info. WE LOVE YOU!! We really do love you and find you so warm and friendly. Even though I did not comment and I did not think it was you for a second, I actually thought it could have been me, I am prone to addictions and going over board but mine right now is bodybuilding and the light rail. I am hoping you will forget what people have said , they meant no harm. Marilyn
Well guys, I was actually joking about it being Nexis' father, LOL!
But this story reminds me of a time when I was in college at Rutgers. We were waiting for the campus bus to depart from the student center, and some maniac that was in our group attempted to hijack the bus. Serenaded by the cheers of his fellow (drunken) passengers.
