Back in October, a trolley driver threatened Owen Byrne with arrest for taking a photo at the Newton Highlands T stop.

Today, he reports, he was back at Newton Highlands to be interviewed by a reporter and camera crew about the MBTA photo policy that a sizable number of T employees don't seem to know exists:

Impressively enough a train driver stopped and asked if we had permission (which we did) to film at the station while we were doing this.

Look for Byrne and Adam Weiss, who had his own photo run-in with a T worker, on Channel 4 news tonight, sometime between 5 and 6:30 p.m.
