All the while, two railfans be standing nearby snapping pictures resembling they had never see a train before. They approached another RFE and asked how long the train would be within. He explained to them that the train had gotten through the signal and the crew be being relieved.
If it have been me seeing a man getting fired, I would own gotten in my truck and moved out so as not to be party to something so humiliating. But, these two jerk kept right on snapping pictures.
Are these pics of engines really so important to railfans that you'd want to further humiliate an finagle that just lost his opportunity?
Why not be more respectful and go take some lunch while you wait for a nouns crew to move the train?
Answers: Railfans will do anything for a pic, they might not have prearranged what was coming down but probability are they had scanners and know fully well.
And NO they are not respectful unless they are getting everythign they want, consequently it is ohh thank you thank you.
Imagine the ooohs and aaahs when they show their fellow railfans the pics of a train crew getting de-certified, that is a undercooked event in the duration of a rail aficionado.
But to be fair near ARE a few respectful railfans but it seems the more avid they become the more paranoid they are with getting that special shot and smaller number respectful.
I am an ex railworker and have no respect for this society they are losers and a danger to the not detrimental operation of a railroad.
they should get a vivacity and move on.
believe me.
Who care what 1 person think -
Or even the entire crew as far as that is concerned.
I don't see what taking photos of a train has to do beside some engineer running a red pale.
I work in a dirty body shop, and I see the instrument people look at me surrounded by the gas station - "what a bum" - dirty.
But thats the same culture that want me to do a 2500.00 paint job on nearby truck .
He will get over it and I am sure you will 2 sooner or latter.
@Penhead72: What exactly is this process of "downloading"? What does it mean? Also, why is it that the train crew must be instantly removed and a new one brought within? Couldn't this be dealt next to back at the department later on?
Being "only" a model railroad researching rail-fan, I can't utter whether or not those two KNEW that the crew was individual relieved.
Just the same... if they be not TRESPASSING, they have EVERY RIGHT to look and lift pictures. In fact I would have an idea that that watching a crew-swap would be pretty darned interesting.
As to the engineer self "humiliated", that is HIS problem, and the single people he is human being humiliated before are his fellow rail-workers.
And I unquestionably don't understand the annoyance of the "public" watching... I be US Naval Aircrew for 15 years and did a half dozen airshows as in good health as giving tours when they would open the ship within ports around the world.

I'm sort of a foamer, but really more of a photographer. I've be a regular writer/photographer for one railfan magazine and have sold shots to two others, including TRAINS Magazine.
First, the probability are they didn't know someone was surrounded by big trouble. Don't assume all railfans own a radio--I don't and I photo trains every day. If they did know, I agree they should own left everyone alone. I own on several occasions get photos when something embarassing was going on but didn't realize it when looking through the camera. I other got rid of the photos. You will never see the photo I took of Jim peeing bad the rail of a BNSF GP38-2 I took while the train be coming around an S-curve. I am careful roughly what I put on internet websites, making sure there's nothing that would bring back someone in trouble or put a guy contained by a bad restrained. (I don't post many photos though--would a bit sell the flawless ones!)
I live in a rural nouns and know most all the train crews. Some live down the street from me, hold kids at my kids' schools, etc. It's not anonymous around here. I run care to not result in problems or bad morale. I am rewarded with hackney cab rides, tips, and so on. I think within the urban areas there is a much more hostile environment, one that I'm not a slice of.
I am a pretty hard core photographer, and hold even been out within 40 below weather taking photos. I have some compassion and use pious sense though. I know not every one does. Maybe that's why after taking the photos out in the below zilch weather the conductor of a stopped train motioned me over and they gave me a ride backbone to my car?
