It is quite interesting, just definitely don't get caught. If I recall correctly it's a federal offense.

I'd be interested to hear the legal rationale for that belief. I mean, a municipal transit line isn't likely considered to be "federal property" and trespassing is still trespassing - a provincial offense. If you're able to furnish some proof of the heightened charge I'd be very interested to learn the mechanism through which they could somehow elevate the charge. Sure if they catch you with tools, or there's a smashed door or obvious damage you're going to catch a heavier rap, but if they simply find an unlocked door and you with your camera, I can hardly see them making it a "federal crime". Could be wrong though
