Serves y’all right

I’m an engineer for Amtrak and I do the same thing. I duck, wear big glasses, pull my hat down, whatever it takes to get my face out of the picture. I’m not sure if any of these buffs work for a living but I’d imagine they wouldn’t like it if I came to their office, or cash register, or whatever and shoved a camera in their face while they are working. Besides for us it’s a liability thing. These goofy foamers need to be a little more respectful of people’s privacy and think of how they would feel if the script were flipped. But then again I guess I can’t ask retarded people to use common sense

Good lord when did railfans become so entitled? If a crew didn't wave when we were kids we didn't sit and whine about it. Now every little thing gets put on social media. And to you guys who post stuff like this about unfriendly train crews, do you really not understand why some crews won't? Not to mention the fact that we do have jobs to do up there. My main goal as an engineer isn't to look for the cameras.

I'm a driver for a contract transportation company. The crew report any kids playing around the tracks to the dispatchers. In my area there were kids racing trains on bikes & atv's, in another spot they were playing chicken. Locomotives weigh around 425,000 lbs. each. In case of a derailment you should be more than 20 ft from the tracks so at least you have a chance to run away.

Nicely done I just subscribed and well subscribed back

Maybe the guy was folding his laundry….

What was he doing?

Hope you've changed your idea of what constitutes a safe distance from a moving train. In the video you appear to be standing well within the rail corridor and if it was Australia.... within the danger zone (within 3 metres of closest rail).

There are laws against standing too close to a moving train.

Nice horn! Is it for sale?

Awesome Video! Nice to see you returning back to TH-cam!

I was laughing so hard when I first saw this.

Back in the 1970s I worked at a steel mill in Western Pennsylvania. I was so young they put me out on the tracks to flag down the train. The train crew invited me in for a couple of pulls off the bottle they kept up there! I left that train a much happier man!!

Why do you care if they cover their faces? Are you more interested in the equipment or the crew?

There was a video out there of a conductor hanging out the window calling the camera man a stupid foamer.

Awesome horn man. I might try to grab one of these as I'm searching for a horn of my own

You ever got to sittin’ there?

No words can describe how nice that sounds!

OH THE SOOTHING SOUNDS OF THE DISTANT CORNUCOPIAN CRIES BECKON MY SLUMBERS SLEEP;PERCHANCE TO DREAM.--ADAM BOMB

Absolutely incredible, I hope one day I'll be able to snag a BCOL K5

Wow

you need to be a lot further back

I don’t get it. Crew didn’t do a thing

oh really? you were almost hit too… Learn to stay 15 feet or more away

Cool!

Nice!

I need one of those stands

Damn this cab car killed 3 people

Make sure to wear hearing protection when doing your hobby. That "FoamHead" driving the train was trying to blow your eardrums out. Also a Canon DSLR with a Zoom 300mm telephoto lens will get some great close up photos of the train crew and also take great video. Tamron has some great affordable zoom & telephoto lenses.

What’s the point of a guy sticking is head out Did he say something bad or what? What’s the point of this video man!

Looks like he didn't wanna be on tape. Not everyone does.

Why does it matter maybe he don’t want his face on camera nothing wrong with that.

There's an engineer here in Ohio that got his face messed up after falling into rail. Maybe it happened back in his conductor days. He still puts his vest over the window to this day.

The fact there is a "debate" over this is kinda dumb. Some people don't want their picture taken. Some people do. In the end, life still moves on and technically the video still captured what it wanted. The train.

the engine almostt sounds completely different to VIA rails F40's

What's wrong here besides you trespassing and putting yourself the crew and that whole community at risk ? You don't have the first freaking clue of the nature of the job or the risk you impose upon yourself and the community get off the property and let them do their jobs witch them having to take extra precautions that your not there to sabatoge something . what an idiot you must be. Foamer !

Carfanning needs to be a thing

Looks to me like the guys were TOO close to the tracks !!

Trust me, that’s the tip of the iceberg if you compare it to Florida crews lmao

Why are you guys standing in front of the yellow line

thank you sir for captacaptar the 821 the train appears in the Train Station 2 video game and I was looking for it

I been always wanting to hear a metra f40ph start up

Every company has an asshole who thinks that he's god, getting watched and photographed comes with the territory, always has....

Badass and beautiful K5LA, Very crisp as well! Sweet runby!

Beautiful K5LA, sounds just like the ones I grew up hearing from a distance from the CSX Cincinnati Terminal Sub. Thanks for sharing this wonderful horn.

Where was this taken?

Probably just doesn’t want face to be on camera!

A lot of sensitive railroaders on here. People film all kinds of professions all day every day. So calm down and go have that soy latte and avocado toast.
