I wasn’t able to hear what the engineer said, but according to the comments, he slowed his train down for me. I thought he was telling me I was too close. Anyways, thank you to the engineer for doing that, and enjoy!
The more I rewatch it the more it sounds like that. The thing that throws me off is his hand gestures. The way he points both directions then throws his hands up. Thanks for the comment!
I heard him say something about something coming at the same time so he would go slow for you so you get both at the same time, I don't know how you heard him say anything about you being too close to the tracks.
@Mrright87 Not really. It is only trespassing if you are on the railroads property, in this video I wasn't. I was off a public trail that was an old right of way for a railroad. The right of way extends to the railroad property.
Didn't seem too angry to me. There used to be a facebook page for railway employees who hated railfans. You'd find some real anger there. . .they seemed to have a problem with the rest of the world. Some of the comments were barely fit for a family audience
When Amtrak first used a Siemens Charger on the Cascades service, heard a crew member say on the radio, “Lots of folks taking pictures at Lakewood. They must not have a life!”
Take a trip to Horse Shoe Curve. It's out side if Altoona,PA. Not only can you watch trains all day long. If you stay close to the virtual railroad cam. Not only will you be on youtube. You tubers can hear you talk about different trains in the curve. Vrs shaking your camera like a rookie.
