Foamer gets mad and tries to be bossy over the NKP 765

- This video was taken at approx.3:40pm on Sunday May 26, 2013 at the N.E Stone Quarry, 5 miles south of Tyrone Pa off of rt 453. Here is a perfect example of a Foamer taking Trains just a little too serious. Just about any spot you go to see the NKP 765 there is going to be lots of spectators, some who like trains more than others. As the NKP approachers you'll hear a foamer yell "Hey, back up", like he's the boss of the Stone Quarry or something.lol. It would have been one thing to say it nicer or at least just ask. I guess he didn't want anyone in his "shot" but he thought it was Ok to yell in everyone else's. Not that I cared cause I'm not trying to win an Oscar or anything, I kinda felt bad for the couple. We were talking for about 20 mins before the NKP arrived, they were really kind. You can see the reaction of the couple on the right of the screen. After the video I couldn't help myself from mocking the foamer a little bit in defense of the couple I'd just met, plenty loud enough for him to hear. Not to mention he was trespassing practically standing on the tracks. For those of you thinking I am trespassing at the Quarry, I've asked permission to be there from the security guys and it's Ok. All you foamers can thumbs down this video. hahahaha

We had a guy ask us (we were there 20 minutes before this guy was) if we would move over a bit. I was annoyed, but said sure, so we moved over a bit as he was clearly wanting to video. He then moves and sets up right where we had been standing. So, when the train got close, I just had a really loud conversation with my wife. LoL
Oh man that's golden sure he was upset lol
Bet the guys name was Kevin, lol 🤣
@@robertbate5790I would've guessed Darrel from experiences here😂
I wouldn't have moved, I would've stayed right in his shot
Perhaps he had been there first, staked out his shot for awhile and at the the guy in front of him just happened to come in at the last moment. I would be upset also, especially if after 3 years all you can see on the replay of the video is the other guy.
@@GaryW48 the man is too far away to take up the whole shot, and didn’t block the train at all. Prime example of a foamed taking his hobby a little too seriously.
Same here say suck it I am not moving might give him my middle finger too.
Autistics smh
And that is a good example a how fights are started.
Lol, the whitest fight ever started
I heard a foamer or crewmen got punched when the CSX Pride in service locomotives was on Q410 a little while back.
@@romanrailfan392 Autistics smh.
How are they even in his shot? The only time I would ask someone to move is when they are literally in the middle of my shot. If they are off to the side of my shot I could care less.
IDK either , they were barely in my shot and I was standing next to them.
i sometimes like people in my shot, it just shows that lots of people, young and old, like trains
I remember I was recording the Glenbrook and a guy kindly asked my to move so I wouldn’t be in his video
I remember he told me we both took great videos after the mogul passed
What a great man, I hope he’s doing well
If I heard that, I’d walk right up to him and scream in his face, “OH MY GAWWWD!! LISTEN TO THAT HORN!!!!”
LMFAO!
He could have stood next to him and as 765 whistled for the grade crossing he could have yelled TOOOOOOOOOT! TOOOOOOOOT! TOOOOOOOOOT! TOOT! TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!.
I understood that reference
I'm a railfan as well,but I would never tell someone your in my shot,I just did a video where a BNSF loaded train was coming and I had a pretty close spot and yes there were other ppl in my way .Did I tell them to move,no I just kept recording
Thank you.
What I do is I censor the people’s faces when I’m editing the video and while I’m filming I move my camera in an angle where they won’t show up in the video.
They weren’t even in the middle of the shot. Just standing off to the side. I usually try my best to only railfan with people I can trust. I never take risks to railfan in hot spots where there are a million foamers.
It’s just dumb to film in public and get upset when people are in your shot. This is not a sporting event, so just let people stand where they will.
What a sound that makes. Would love this to do a UK rail tour. American steam trains look so much better than UK ones.
The US Standard gauge is a lot different than the UK AND the cost will be in the multi millions to move it. There is also rail weight (how much the rails can hold) and itll snap all of it
if you want to see US steam in the UK then there are some US WW2 Freight loco's at the Churnet Valley Railway and one at the South Devon Railway.
@@LordGoose-zr6jj I've seen big Jim at kieghley and worth Valley.
And not only that American locomotives basically has more additions to them than U.K steam locomotives like Extra lights on like mars lights and marker lights and etc
I have to respectfully disagree. I think British steam engines are way better looking than American ones
“Hey! Back up! Now shuffle to the left, step to the right. Now, pat your head and rub your belly while saying rubber baby buggy bumpers!”
Nothing like Foamer to wind up the geeks !!!
That first diesel locomotive looked pretty good in those old colours.
Yeah. The first one was Norfolk Southern 8102 Pennsylvania Railroad heritage unit. The second one was Norfolk Southern 8098 Conrail heritage unit. Unfortunately there really dirty now
@@steelcityrailfan4808 yea
Good thing I saw one of them (NS 1069) when they were still clean
@SouthernWillcoxRailfan I'm just always glad they're there to haul unreliable steam around as needed...
That guy must have the wide view camera in the world for him to be able to see that couple off to the side.
Ohhhhh nice PRR 👀 . There were plenty of people there watching and one dummy trying to ruin it for them.
Only when the NKP is around I guess. We hardly see anyone any other time. You should have seen it after the video in Tyrone, after it went by there was people running for their cars to catch it, like they were never going to see it again. One guys truck wouldn't start and he was freaking out.
I'm passionate about railways and always have been. Your video is great and I've watched it a number of times but, like you, I felt sorry for those two people on the right. How on earth were they spoiling anything. Being a lifelong UK trainspotter I just felt embarrassed that they were yelled at. Ridiculous.
I recognize this express. Hauled by N&W 611 in the past
I think he also came for the two heritage units trailing behind
I like the description a lot I think the whole thing is a hoot.
Awesome train video
he could have at least asked nicer. "hey guys im sorry but could you step the side a bit, you're in my shot."
I would be amazed not mad there’s a steam engine very rare train cars and 2 heritage units!
If the guy doesn't like them being in his shot then HE can move as they've got just as much right to be there as he has.
I went to see the 2102 pass by once, and this one guy is like, "Everyone, I'm recording now!" to let us know to stop talking or something.
when does he get mad?
REAAAAALLY late reply but 0:22 you can hear it in the background
I'm a rail fan, but I can't call myself a foamer. I just let people do their own thing, I don't report train hoppers, I don't care about graffiti.
the GOOPER Me either. I only care about trains. If people are into foaming or train hopping, that's them. They can live life however they want. Good on you.
Same
That Conrail heritage unit. Nice.
I know it is a nice unit. One of our favorites.
@PhatChanceAthat the Conrail unit does look nice. One of my favorites is right in front of it, the Pennsylvania unit. Great video though.
What a catch. The 765 and the ns heritage pennsylvania sd40-2. Wowey
Btw, both heritage units were ES44AC’s. That would be better if they were SD40’s though
*"yOurE iN mY ShOt BacK uP"*
Ngl that conrail loco lookin shiny
Of all the steam engines I’ve chased around the country, the 2013 chase of this engine was the worst. The dumbasses were out in full force, walking right in front of people with cameras and microphones already set up. Common sense was missing from most of the people along the line. Couple that with equally arrogant railfans, and it was a nightmare. I swore I’d never again chase anything in Yankeeland Pennsylvania again.
It's called editing a video. Just crop them out of the way.
20 foamers disliked because “the heritage units weren’t leading”
41 now
I would only say get out of my shot if they don't want to be on the Internet or if they actually where in the way
Very F0AMY behaviour!!!
32 foamers watched this so far
51 and counting..
@@PhatChanceAthat how many idiot foamers disliked this video? Seriously those who talk or scream when a train passes are a joke.
I dont mind people in my shots.
I would say suck it you got lots of space you can move
And THAT is why I prefer to make everyone aware of "camcorder consciousness" BEFORE the train is even heard or seen! That guy who yelled was a douche! I'd definitely go off on him AFTER everyone starts to scramble to their vehicles.
Dude should've zoomed in closer to avoid the people he could've got alittle closer to the tracks easier to avoid everyone else.
We had a turd like that when the BigBoy passed through here yr. ago. I was set up with a tripod for 2 min. before he was (behind me), 3rd time he's waving his arm and yelling at me to "move," I moved back to my original spot. Then, he threatened me.
That didn't go well for him, either. Hope I totally trashed his shot too.
Fortunately, hasn't happened often, through years. Most people are pretty nice, just mutually happy to be there for the whole cool experience.
They didn't mess up the shot! Whoever came up with the idea to use that God awful Conrail with this beautiful train mess up the shot!!!!!! 😠
These foamers are so annoying, just a few weeks ago, one yelled at me to move so I “don’t get in his shot” even though I was standing there for over an hour
This is why I stay away from Sausagefests like this.
As a photographer of various things, not just trains, I will admit I really hate people who get in my shot. Usually though I'm somewhere there are not many, if any at all, people. I don't like to have people in any picture I take and I make sure I choose a spot where I know for a fact no one is gonna be in the view I'm trying to get. BUT even if someone were to do it, you get more cooperation when you politely ask if they could move rather than being yelled at by someone who thinks they're god. But I don't see that anyone was in his shot, plus if someone does happen to get into a shot, guess what.....most decent photo editors you can pay for provide the option to remove things you don't want in your picture, like people. Honestly if someone yelled at me to move I'd just stay there.....if you wanna be an a$$ I'll be an a$$ right back to you, but I'm usually very respectful of other photographers....we all want a good shot but if you feel you need to yell at people to get it, then just put the camera down and find something else to occupy yourself.
Well said and I agree with everything you said. Thanks for watching!
Because your just a Foamer, Foamer, Foaaamerrr!
Nice catchq
At least you seem to be more off to the side than he likely was. If he was anything within 4 feet or less of the track, not only would he have definitely been trespassing but fouling as well, on top.
Just zoom in
They don't get the likes. Seen them on the London Tube Steam Train Specials.
Lol I've seen far far worse than that. That was nothing!
If you even see this: What is the worst you've seen? Now I'm curious.
@@zachhaywood1564 I've seen entire homemade photos lines cursing out people like that at crossings with every expletive imaginable and throwing ballast rocks nearly provoking fights after the train passed. Once saw a few guys miss shots because they did it to the wrong person their cameras were damaged and the person called cops too. Joe blow public can get sick of chasers too in their neighborhood and has attacked photographers over the yrs. There is a notorious very well known one in Nesquehoning PA along the Reading & Northern who's a real asshole to photographers if 425 is running. Fortunately its mostly the cursing fights most places when nonsense occurs.......
He didn't sound that mad
Plenty of woods and nice empty spots along this line to get a superior composition. This is what you get for being too lazy to hike and doing platform/level crossing spotting. Specially with a crowd.
This happens on the Reading and Northern trips. It's always the same guy. Yells at other railfans and is really an ass. I try to avoid him, but other than that, I ignore him.
Heck with that clown
NO ONE watches the footage these people shoot unless it's recommended to some random stranger at TH-cam...
Yea yea, cute train and all - were the trout rising???? (Anyone who has been there knows what I mean.)
Two things:
1) Great video. Who cares about foamers? They're just snobs who take railfanning a bit too far.
2) Oh the irony of a Conrail diesel pushing a Pennsylvania diesel before the merger occurred.
I am not a railfan however I do like to watch an occasional train video. I have never gone out in person to view a train so my question is what is a foamer?
Basiclly the railfan version of an iPad kid, and a karen mixed together. They either freak out if a train doesn’t have 17 billion heritage units, or they think a gevio is the rarest thing on the planet
*gevo
Someone who foams at the mouth from excitement when seeing something special, like a steamer or a diesel painted like a dead railroad
23 foamers
Dude didn’t even ask him, just told him to move. Pathetic
Yes and very rude too.
I'd have just stayed - I mean if you wanna act like an an a$$, I can be an a$$ right back to you. That's why I always try and get situated somewhere I know that I can get the shot that I want without anyone potentially getting in the way.....guess this guy hasn't realized that yet about being a photog.
all you have to do is shift the camera a tad, all i do. haven't had to ask anyone to move yet, and ive been railfanning for 4 years now. im 16
Honestly I try not to get folks in my videos, not because I mind or don’t like folks but because I do post the majority on social media and I wouldn’t want someone to be upset that they are now posted up. If you like rail fanning I say go on and do it just be respectful of your surroundings.
There were more people across the tracks, why didn’t he yell at them about being in the shot?🙄
be thankful the worst of the railfan community is foamers and that the trains are not fictional characters to make weird art of
CONRAIL! Omg 😱
gigachad foamer
why did the not have 8100 on it
Hunters vlogging and more Because it didn't want to have 8100 on it lol
It’s like... who cares...? People in your photos makes it look more authentic, anyway!!
FOAMERS LOL
Bahahaha u find them foamers don't ya?
Funny, go to an air show and have people stand up in front of you as if two more feet will improve the view.
What are you talking about, I did’t see anything like that.
You gotta listen also.
nice use of the heritage units. if they have to put diesels on steam trains, that's the way to do it. great consist, too
i would have told that guy to fuck off and stood right in front of him. i hate people like that. i had a similar incident when i was chasing the 3985
you can have your perfect shot just don't be a dick about it
What's a foamer?
It is a nickname for a railfan. Particularly an overenthusiastic fanatical one. It is often used in a derogatory sense. There seems to be a consensus that it is derived from "foaming at the mouth", although that is hard to definitively confirm.
That’s about the time I take two steps forward. If you’re that good a taking pics, you wouldn’t be standing in a wide open area that’s easily accessible to everyone. Do a little research, put some actual effort into it and don’t go for a shot that an elderly couple can get on their flip phones.
I don’t understand why there are so many people watching this train..
It is a special event Steam excursion.
here are 3 answers to your question
1. They don't run steam locomotives anymore.
2. it is a special run
3. a lot of people like steam locomotives and always take the opportunity to record or get photographs of a steam locomotive on a special run.
so here you are your answers to "I don't understand why there are so many people watching this train".
Typical triggered foamers when they see a classic steam engine with diesel locomotives behind it
At least they weren’t standard horsehead units
I had a run in with a foamer or toxic train fan. While at work (My work has a contract with CSX.) I was walking down a set of tracks that connect two yards and a factory. The factory was extending their yard and I had to measure where the factories, States and CSX's properties meet. There was a guy with his camera, and he started yelling calling me an effing idiot for walking on the tracks me being the smart ass I am, and I knew no trains were going to run on that track for the next 6 months I layed down on them and oh boy did he about spaz out and have a heart attack. I can handle all the name calling and as soon as he threw a rock at me, he crossed the line. I told him if he ever throws a rock at me again that i was going to knock his teeth down his throat. He walked around the building and called the police. Turns out he and another guy had been tossed out of another train yard for trying to tell other people what to do.
@aaronkindoll8242 Sorry you had to deal with that. If I worked for the railroad, if a foamer throws rocks at me, I would be right on the phone with the railroad police. Foamers like that give us railfans a bad look.
Wait... all rail fanners are foamers. LOL
Not. All.
@@user-mr3ct1dm9p at least 99% of them.
I saw nothing
stupid 0:22
Ah, I see. The people who have left a bad stain on this hobby. Foamers will really act like railfanning is a sport lmao
Back in 1995, A 13 maybe 14 year old geek with glasses and an engineers cap made me want to punch him in the face. It was at the end of a locomotive tour. Me and a friend were talking while standing on the front platform of a GP40. Nerd told us to “get off so people can exit!” There are two ways off the loco at the front, and literally 3 feet of room behind us. He was just bossing people around so he could pretend to be a railroad employee. The Jeremy Dewitte of railroading.
This is why railfanning should be illegal. Because this one guy is a jerk. Ha!!! Just kidding. I sound like the US government
StupidFoamer lol
To be honest, if someone tells you to get out of their shot, get out of their shot. Getting your shot blocked sucks. But hear me out. Every railfan should do their best to not block other peoples shots. I always make sure I am not blocking anyone else’s shot. But for the love of god do not whisper a single word while someone is recording. It can ruin everything.
I had to vent. I rode Milwaukee Road 261’s return to steam trip. At one point, we all disembarked and lined up for a photo runby. Everyone is told to pick a spot and stand next to each other- that way, no one would be in anyone else’s shot. 261 backed up about a mile and came charging past us. Just as it got to the perfect position, the moron next to me has to lean out three whole feet to get just a tiny bit closer- right in front of me. I couldn’t even yell because some were shooting video and I didn’t want to ruin it for them. Afterwards, I told the jerk off, but others around me didn’t seem to think he did anything wrong- smh and fml.
don't 'tell' someone to move.......that's akin to a demand. If you ask you're more likely to be successful. would you rather be asked or told? I know I don't want to be 'told' as it is just downright rude. There's a HUGE difference. And while I don't know about video editing, as a photographer myself I do know that anyone who is editing their photographs with a decent editing tool (photoshop for instance) have the ability to remove things from pictures that they don't want in the shot. I have done it so I know for a fact it can be done, within reason of course. I do my part to stay out of others pictures, but yeah its frustrating when there are people who don't care do it but that is why I tend to just hit the button and have numerous pictures of what I'm shooting at the time. I figure I'm guaranteed to get something good out of one of them.

Foarmer???
Foamer is a railfan. What makes them a foamer is imagine a rabid dog foaming at the mouth. Thats why they are called foamers. From a railroad perspective, we typically encounter them more because they just don't do their hobby from afar and let us do our jobs. They typically get a lot close to us and then get mad we don't know what type of horn our engine has (we don't care). Where a railfan ( a normal human being who just likes trains) will typically stay away from the tracks, not try to approach us and stays safe, the foamer does exactly the opposite.
Probably don't wanna see my videos on here I don't consider myself neither one lol.
2 Diesels? Really? Total disrespect for steam. You want steam at speed? Just steam? Go to Great Britain
Mike Madden Steamers lack dynamic braking, that's what the diesels are for.
Nick T. And diesels can also be used as backup power just in case steam engines would ever run into problems on the mainline so they won't disrupt freight traffic.
At least tack them on the tail end
Mike Madden it’s a heritage unit tho
765 and 611 ran excursions without diesel as well. The 765 excursion from near Bethlehem to Pittston had no diesel. I was on this and the Pittston 765 excursion and 611 from Manassas, VA. Those excursions may never be repeated again because NS no longer wants to host steam excursions. The Bethlehem-Lehighton and Manassas-Front Royal routes are normally freight only, you can't normally ride them unless you're an NS engineer.
Ugly looking trains up there in Canada
There is awesome looking Trains down here in PA.
