Posted by Ray Jules on Wed Apr 16 17:17:56 2014, in response to Re: Thanks to everyone who put the railfanning hobby to shame this weekend., posted by Train Dude on Wed Apr 16 17:00:22 2014. As discussed earlier this week, the other two railfans who you are referring to did not know that there was somebody surfing the rear of the train. In fact, they reported the incident to the T/O of the next train to arrive at the station.The event was not staged, they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Everyone else who was filming the R32 R along the 4th Avenue line on that trip down also ended up with the surprise of a train surfer showing up in their video. Furthermore, in the video description of the posted video that depicts the surfer, the railfan who uploaded the video calls the surfer a "bimbo" and a "moron", hardly condoning the actions of the train surfer. He did not realize the implications of posting the video, and once they were made clear, he took the video down. The two railfans who filmed the train caught a lot of crap from uninformed folks who blindly accepted the notion that the event was staged, even though it was apparently their footage that allowed for the identification of the train surfer and the later issuance of a warrant for his arrest. It really isn't fair that these two fans would be stigmatized for something they had no involvement with. |
