I certainly hope I was not the person who blocked your video camera, but if it was me, I am sorry. I do my best not to spoil anyone's photos or videos. I understand how annoying it can be to have a great shot ruined. That's one reason I try to set up away from other photographers. Therefore, I was surprised when the small, isolated hilltop I had set up on alone  became so crowded as the train approached. Nevertheless, I really tried to stay out of everyone's way.

At 16:25 - I was set up to get the exact same shot, but with only 3 cars to by go someone turned into my shot because they were turning their camera to get a 'going away shot' and turned right in-front of my camera and blocked the rest of the shot. Glad your shot turned out well, I wish mine had seeing I drove 350 miles just to get there from the Central Valley (Fresno) to see the train.
