So now, I'm not even allowed to step off the platform without a conductor bitching at me? Also, my quest for new gloves ended up making me miss Trains 6666, 6643, and 645. No Arrows for me today.
1: Cab Car 6054 leads Train 858, and F40PH-2CAT 4129 provides the power. Train 1009 arrives as 858 departs. F40PH-2CAT 4113 is on the point, and Cab Car 6055 is at the end.
2: Multilevel Cab Car 7025 leads Train 6647 into the station. The conductor of this train decided to bother me for no reason except that I stepped off the platform so I wouldn't be confused for a passeger. He bothered with me for so long, the door onto the train closed before he could get back on. ALP-46A 4645 powers the set.
3: ALP-46A 4658 pulls Train 6668 into the station. Trailing is Cab Car 6048.
4: Train 649 enters, led by ALP-46 4602. Cab Car 5026 is behind 4602, and bringing up the rear is Cab Car 6053.
good shots Rich. but you didnt say why he was bitching at you.

Nice vid man! Some of those conductors can really be a problem. About a week ago in Rahway I was stopped by NJ Transit Police. He was polite though and he told me that I was reported by a train crew.

A tip: when dealing with pesky conductors, try to get their ID number (ex. 414620) and let Transit know what happened, I wouldn't necessarily demonize crews though.

that happens to me often in Waldwick, which is why freight trains(CSX) are better for now. usually when a conductor yelled at me a cop car came within a few minutes. some conductors just have bad days
