Today’s question is about flying your drone near a train. Can you get into trouble for doing so? And can a flying drone distract the driver and cause a derailment?

Our caller, Houston Brown, has come up up a unique question today. He wishes to fly near a train in order to grab some cool shots. Does the law permit him to do so? Can a drone pilot jeopardize the safety of train passengers? For all this, and more, tune in to the latest show of Ask Drone U. Thanks for the great question, Houston. Fly Safe!
