Yeah it was. LMAO

Thanks man! J

Yes your right. When I'm trackside I'll do a roll-by inspection of my own and always make sure to stay out of the way.

He didn't need his retinas anyway. lol

@@JayJr2007 🤣🤣

Cp does that alot.

+Sean Murrell What they don't realize is that I am there to film the trains & wish they would get the hell out of my shot. lol

+JayJr2007 I guess I'm lucky I barely take photos or video these days. I got a trip coming up on March break driving as far west as Denver. I'll be passing by Altoona which I've been to the curve once before after that most is all new west through Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas. Be passing through Columbus, OH, St. Louis, KC. The spot in Denver is a railfan hotel hotspot downtown by the yard. Then heading east along the transcon passing North Platte, Lincoln, NE for the night (another good view from that hotel). Last stop will be the Diamond Lodge at Rochelle, IL outside of Chicago which is another huge hot spot. Most of these places are used to railfans I guess. I don't understand what is up with CP these days. Hunter must be busting their balls too much and making them miserable.

Excellent comments Sean

+Blake Trafford - Mile Post Productions Could be 112 - not sure. Yeah 95% are friendly ...

Blake Trafford - Mile Post Productions some even through me hats and water. That guy is a straight dick. Filming the trains not him!!!

+cn78356 If he hits me and gets a weekend off he can plans to go to Tim Hortons and take pictures of me working.

Yeah it would be fun & easy enough to do - but illegal to broadcast on those frequencies. Thanks for watching, J

I like Starbucks better. lmao Thanks for watching, J

Hey, what's with this starbucks stuff??????? I thought tim hortons was an institution in Canada. I heard to become a Canadian citizen, you have to swear to drink tim hortons at least 5 x a wk.

I don't watch NHL hockey either.

Thomas Lalor that’s called a stereotype. Their food and coffee especially is garbage. Lots of fellow Canadians are brainwashed too tho. Yes Starbucks preferred, even Mickey ds

@@CANControlGRAFFITI McD's coffee is not bad at all lately.

+JA “JABerthelot” Berthelot Thanks for watching! J

Thanks man! Cheers

hey thats 112

But the thing is, especially when a crew is doing manual work, there are managers and upper managers that will see your videos and pick it apart and use it as evidence to fry a lowly conductor or engineer, even when nothing happened, no one got hurt and no equipment was damaged. Stupid things like a Conductor who normally works a daylight job but got bumped to a night job and forgot to grab a pair of clear safety glasses... Three months down the road he's getting suspended for two weeks because some uppity-up watched a foamer vid and saw he was wearing dark glasses during twilight hours. I worked with a guy who was given street time because one of our favorite foamers got a picture of him resting his elbows on the handrails even though we were stopped at a crossing and waiting for a yard job to clear up. He was not maintaining proper 3-point contact in the photo and that was the reason he received a suspension, even though it had been months since the actual incident happened. I certainly do not condone or advocate rude behavior towards the railfans and I agree with my fellow railroader here that we depend on you more because you are the extra set of eyes. But at the same time those eyes have also come at a cost because of situations that arise from the videos or photos which cost us our paychecks.

I hate to see drama like this because it makes for an uncomfortable job on our part and an uncomfortable hobby on yours. We had a situation similar to this that was started by the foamers over the matter of propping the door open on the front. We were doing it because the 3,000 HP oven we were working on had no A/C or fans (aside from the guys with the cameras on the wayside) and it was well over 45C degrees (115F) with it closed. After weeks of having things thrown at us (mostly verbal, sometimes stale old coffee) I finally got down and asked the guy What Gives!? When he explained that the open door was ruining his shot and we were wasting all his time, money and effort in his hobby, I was so mad I could have punched him. Apparently his feelings were mutual. But rather than duking it out, I asked him if he wanted to let me know where he was set up at and I would close the door as we got to that spot. The very next time I saw him set up with his cameras, I jumped up, closed the door, sat back down and as we went by he gave us a thumbs-up. I opened the door again and all our problems were solved for a week or two. The rest of my crews heard about this situation and had apparently been so antagonized by this guy that even in the winter, whenever they saw him they would jump up and open the door to mess up his shot. SMH

That kind of crazy should never be tolerated & and people who take pleasure in ratting crew members out are POS human beings not one of us. Most of us do what we can to respect the crews and stay out of the way.

JayJr2007 I don't believe any of the fan videos or photos I described were meant to rat out the employees. It was purely situational, where some stuck up manager perused fan sites or channels looking for dirt and in those examples they found some dirt.
