From a retired BLE&T Local Chairman off the UP in Seattle, I would be very careful about posting content like this revealing your identity. Our Uncle Pete takes a dim view of recording anything on the property. I got disciplined for using a stand-alone camera to take a photograph of a switch flag test. I won in arbitration, but it doesn't matter that their own rules allow it. Cell phone cameras are a big no-no.
