Four of us went to Prospect Park for today's special. Good positioning on the platfom for all, with the local cops approval. Pilot train comes & goes:


After this a Federal Agent swoops in & directs the locals to move ALL of us, maybe 500 or so, to the OTHER SIDE of the tracks. The yellow tape goes up & we're stuck with cops all along the platform in front of us!! NOBODY was happy....


Back to the good spot for the cleanup train:


INcredible

What time did they tell you to move to the outbound side? At Norwood they told us about 11:45 when the train was expected any minute. Fortunately for me it took me time to pack up and then I asked if I could just leave my video cameras running, they said yes. Right about that time the headlight appeared.

Sometimes having a whole bunch of equipment works out, rarely, but sometimes.

They didn't want to risk anyone throwing themselves in front of the train. That sort of thing would completely ruin the trip.

You'd LOVE working in television news where "GET that shot" can actually mean "life or death" ... :(

Heh. The ONE thing I'[m grateful for in all my years in television was that I *never* applied for a passport. :)

Isn't that the Presidential car that was built for Truman or Ike? IIRC its trucks were massive.

What time did they tell you to move to the outbound side?

I was so mad I didn't look at the time. We cosidered moving up to Noorwood, but decided to stay put & get what we could. I sat at the tape line for the shot of the engines, then rolled onto the platform to do the best I could with the Georgia 300.
