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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
