At least he didn't say anything about you shooting video. So, you're ok. :-) |

That engineer has a serious case of the grumps. |

And I thought that railroading was all about the people... :-P |

He didn't sound serious,but take it anyway and see if he says anything next time he is in. |

If you just think of it as a nice addition to your video, so it's OK !

He must of been upset because you didn't ask him to smile! |

No, the engineer is not ill informed. You are in a restricted area - standing on the yellow line in the danger zone. Plus, a much better video would have resulted if you stood back farther. You are too close to the train! |

Ill-informed = yes, he said to stop taking pictures not to move back. I am standing on the yellow line = false, the camera is, I am at least 6 feet to the left. If I had moved the camera to where I was standing, it would be in the way of a set of stairs therefore creating an issue with passengers coming onto the platform. Thanks for trying though. |

I would have to admit. That is a little too close! My good retired railroad engineer friend would have a heart attack if he saw railfans THAT close to the tracks. |

Like I said, I wasn't that close, the camera on a tripod was. |

You get some jumped up security people telling people to stop taking photos of trains in the UK...and mabye some station staff. But I don't know of any train crew that say that to photographers. Most of them blow the horn if you make the right hand signals...No the hand signals arn't rude - Heh heh. |

I can't believe he told you to stop filming, somebody definitely needs to read the policies put forth by NJ Transit! |
