"No, she added "...of me" while I was talking after stating that I couldn't take pics, that she wouldn't move the train, and after she'd gotten out of the cab and was out in the car and the doorway reporting me on the radio."

Dude, you're nitpicking to defend yourself. From your reaction and hers, it was clear she was pissed about something, and that she told her "of me" later in the conversation just means she didn't articulate it well.

Your first reaction when she came out of the cab upset should have been to put the camera away and talk to her non-defensively. Be relaxed, apologize, kiss a little ass, be solicitous and charming and nice. Getting off the train and waiting for another is an option too. What you have to remember is if she's upset, the passegers' safety can be at issue, since she drives that 100 ton monster down the tracks, not you.

You might also look at it this way: How many times have you seen that scenery? How many times have you filmed it, or something like it? If you don't get to film it today, the world isn't going to end. You could even find something else to do, like something that has nothing to do with trains. Then come back tomorrow.

I'm not saying she was right. I'm saying you had options that can work better, but you're not practiced at using them.

Do you know what a lifecoach is? Maybe you could use one...
