Oh you can, just not easily in the urban areas.
 At one time no body bothered anybody,
now anybody doing anyything that the general poulace
sees as "different" figures it is time to call the police.
And the police are generally stupid ie why would
anybody take pictures of trains, when they should
be taking pictures of family?   Which can only
mean in their eyes we are therefore terrorist;
trespassing and should be arrested, recorded in the police
data base and  told to move
anywhere away from railway tracks
And railway employees now must report to the
higher-ups  anybody within sight of the railway tracks
The general populace is really
very stupid, Railways and similar used to part of
daily life. Now it is hidden and where seen, a troublesome
hinderance to the populace.
Sad, but reality. And keep in mind news reports tend
to be over-sensationalized which in turn means the
average viewer figures the problem is right in front
of them. Thankfully here in Canada there is a strict
firearms law; not that shootings in Toronto would
deem otherwise.
Just be careful where you go and watch your back side.
