did that conductor tell you to go home? I ahd the same problem in jefferson we ahd a conductor who was a jerk , always yelled at me for watching a train and he flipped me off once to and swore at me

No, he was just being friendly and kidding around. That was the engineer that told us to go home, if you look closely the conductor waves. They also blew the horn. There were also little kids watching with their dad, in which case I really doubt an engineer would yell something mean at us. This was all done in the spirit of playfulness.
