You are correct, where Phillip told me something to the effect of , "at least I'm not eating bugs."
The older gentleman that told me about the rail lines and the two depots was very gracious and more than happy to share the history. So I can't say that the folks there are not welcoming, and I don't know that the young lady called the cops, but I have had it happen before, it might just be a younger thing or maybe I missed calculated what she was doing.
Either way, it really didn't play into having a negative result on getting photos, and honestly I probably would have never even looked at the police station and it is quite an interesting little place in it's own right, peace symbol and all.
