Clueless at Middletown

[Tbakmtown2006]

my dad is really into trains and we go to the Amtrak station all the time at Middletown to watch them come in. He loves his scanner.

As an amateur photographer myself, I hate when people can clearly see that you are trying to get a shot and they walk right in-front of you. It's pretty obvious what a person is doing if they have a camera and they are kneeling down or with a tri-pod. Doesn't take much more effort to walk behind the person filming.

LOL nice strobes on that AEM-7

[wicky201]

You can find People Filters at TigerDirect. kidding

[Lackawanna952]

Last time I rode the Keystone line. #920 was pulling the train to Harrisburg. The dispatcher moved the train over Rheems interlocking..

[miklyd]

they're outta getcha, the poor old farts...

[youbite1]

hahahaha "HEY HEY GET OUTTA THE PICTURE WOULD'YA PLEASE!?!?!.....Jesus Christ...LMAO!!!!

[Tjsingle14]

in my CSX mow train video, some guy is just standing there

[conrailforever1999]

hahahahahahaha the first guy

[awsomethingsmax]

Jeeze, what a jerk the second guy is.

[msc4lf]

I think the guy knew what you were doing, but just didn't care if he got in your video.

[crwi1983]

Yeah! What an idiot! Who stands on a train platform?!? This guy should have known that station platforms are reserved solely for socially-retarded railfans taking videos!

[Great0ne1]

the beginning was kinda mean. Why did the Keystone stop on wrong main at Middletown?

[AEM7andthomasfan]

0:05 poor guy

[bartmanxoxo]

Thats so funny now but im sure it was aggravating then !!!

[SPGP60]

man that fool needs to learn that if you see a camera/ video camera etc. YOU STAY OUTTA THE PICTURE!!

[KCR58]

This happen to me all the time ..

[maineboy1979]

What irks me is when I'm taking video, and a bunch of fans line up behind me with their still cameras and start taking pics and the cameras are all beeping and clicking away. Come on, how about moving 5 feet away so that my video will capture the sound of the train and not the beeping and clicking of a dozen cameras? (better yet, people should learn how to disable the beep on their cameras! it's easy to do!)

[o00o00ozy]

AMEN!

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Now only if people acutally did that, BUT they're too stupid to figure it out themselfs..

[johnmcboston]

OK - on the second one - you should have also taken the precaution to be at the end of the platform so he couldn't walk in front of you...

[furryfurball1221]

I hate when people talk to me when i am filming, especially when they say "are you taking pictures? I answer no. I am fishing for trout. haha drives me nuts

[aussietraindriver]

There are some idiots out there. especially the last guy looking at you filming then still walks in your way!! unreal..

[up6050]

You yelling at that first guy was funny.....

[m3ohwell]

To those of you who have commented on my video pro, and con. I am not mad at this man, he had no clue really! In the production I made on this clip, and other video that day, I simply edited him out of the picture. Just having some fun with this clip is all!

Ed K. OH WELL PRODUCTIONS

[railfan101]

That's cool. I feel the same way lol.

[railfan101]

He was pretty clueless, but I wouldn't be that mad at him. If I had a similar shot, I would either not use it, edit it, or just see it as a natural way of life at the station. Nice vid btw.

Glenn.

[nssd70m]

Reminds me of a Jerk Daniel E. Valentine. Walk right in front of are SD80MAC shot at 30 Crossing on the South Fork Secondary.

[AliceInChains243]

Hahaha thats funny, didn't think Dan V would do that

[keanerulz25]

geez, people either A are completely clueless or B just dont give a crap

[o00o00ozy]

Good videography; but too bad some people aways screw it up. I was at Strasburg on Saturday and I had a nice shot set up of the 7312 leaving the platform, no one around. Out of no where about 100 (hardly an exaggeration) indians (the country) who don't even speak english show up behind me and start babbling incoherently just as she was pulling out. Boy I was ticked!

[RRYankfan]

one time i was sitting at home (here) doin nothin then i hear on the scanner that 7312 is comin north on 512 so i figure that it is so hot out,the sun is blarin, it is very humid but on the other hand it is 7312 (my favorite D&H) and it is after the railfest at steamtown so shell be all nice and shinie and on the same hand i do have two 7312s in HO scale for my modle trains one dirty and one clean.

Anywayz I decide to go because i just heard the detector go off

i will continue on next comm

[RRYankfan]

this is the second half to my last one replying to o00o00ozy's 7312 comment:

.So i race off on my bike at 6th gear and oh boy was it hot out when i finally arrived i looked like i fell into a river because i was sweating so mutch ok so here is the part that got me mad he gates finnaly went down and here comes a convertible with the music blarin and the person looked at me and i gave them a dirty look back and they still dodnt do anything

so the video was ruined and i smelled awful for nothing

[WhyAyeMann]

Dude, Id do anything to go see a steam train alive and kicking. I wouldnt care if I got all sweaty riding my bike just to see a steam engine. There may be more to life than railroads, but it Sure is my Pride and Joy :)

[RRYankfan]

yea i know but i waz just saying that whenever i sat down i got a huge wiff of it

mmmm yummy...LOL

anything that has to do with trains is my pride and joy too but i was just saying that i smelled bad for a video that isnt good but i did enjoy seeing it all sparkly clean but the music dround out the sound and it was going uphill and they were in notch8

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

Well it happens to much, does it not? The general public look at us and are clueless about what we are doing.

[o00o00ozy]

No joke, one day when I was filming at Wernersville station on the NS Harrisburg Line a car was going over the crossing and the driver was staring directly at me not watching the road. There is a traffic light about 300 feet ahead and he quickly turned around and braked but still rear-ended the car in front at about 2 MPH, no damage apparently has they just honked and drove off. I wish I had been recording, maybe next time. I had LMAO syndrome for the rest of the afternoon.

[xxxDeath9572xxx]

no joking huh? Just like how people stare at me in they're cars and next thing you know are stuck in the mud or in a ditch off the road. Yea it happens too frequent down here

[CSX6000]

Ed... most of the general public is clueless. It's one of the most frustrating things to deal with sometimes.

[PictureHouseCinema]

The difference is that you are only physically 68, mentally you're probly about 17 like myself (physically 40). Remember the early days of video when you'd be capturing an historic occasion in your lens and some twat would lean over and ask, "Is it on, does it have sound?"

[pahogger]

Don't feel bad, I think that's happened to all of us, LOL. Oh Well indeed, or maybe call it WTF Productions,LOL. Good video none the less.

[marchmadness76]

That's funny as hell, some people are morons!

[lennyos]

forgot the people filter again, huh?

nice catch of that AEM-7.

[o00o00ozy]

I agree, catch 'em while you can, by 2010 they'll be gone.

[oldanur]

Now we know why you call it Oh Well Productions!

[jimbo2317]

he's clueless allright!
