Definitely not good for publicity, considering the LIRR literally just tweeted asking for people to take pictures of the M9 train LOL.

Thanks for keeping me entertained though.
This clip was featured on NBC news, as recorded by my friend here: • NBC BOIIIIIII
EDIT:
So some of you are having a hard time hearing this guy, so here are captions:
"Yo, stop filming. Don't film me either."
"YOO, I told you twice already to stop filming; the cops are on their way, alright?" (flips me off, lmao)
The best part of this is that I wasn't even filming him, just the trains. If he had ignored me and not said anything at all, this video would never even exist. But notice that on the M9 (he was deadheading, not part of the M9 crew), he pushed the on-duty crew members out of the way to get to the window just to drop it, yell at me, and flip me off. Peak professionalism right here.
It's unfortunate, because most LIRR personnel I meet are very friendly and professional at their jobs.
Recorded at Nostrand Avenue at 0911a and 0945a.
If you are unsatisfied with this admittedly choppy edit and need further context, here is the full video from Nostrand this morning (spoilers, you're not going to see much more in this video): • MTA Long Island Rail R...
Hi there -- I'm with NBC New York. Wondering if you shot this - and if so - if NBCU can use it? We'd give you credit.
This is my footage, and you have permission to use it. EDIT: If you guys missed the broadcast, a friend of mine was kind enough to record it. [czcams.com/video/dJASGIh2RUc/video.html]
Hello NBC!
Yay what time will this be on?
I would like to see this on the news
@@FanRailer Pin the comment and put "love" to it just so people know it's going to be on the news, lol
I hope he gets punishment for this. You did nothing wrong
Yea crafty foxe I agree 💯
CraftyFoxe i agree 100% with u
I agree got pissed off just for filming trains
Craftyfoxe ur the best CZcams ever and I agree as well
I agree I hope that guy gets fired from lirr
So he can tell you to stop filming but they can’t manage to tell passengers to keep their filthy shoes off the seat??? Figures when it impacts them that’s a different story.
Whats the point when they put their feet back up after their walk away?
Report him to MTA, he'll definitely get reprimand of some sort.
someone tweeted this video to the mta they werent happy they are aware
He's not operating the train
No he wont
He's Fired
After the LIRR actually encouraged people to go out and film/photograph their new train. I love New York haha!
Yeah. This middle finger guy seems like a typical New York asshole! 😒
@@cpdispr I'm a new yorker..
Long story short NY sucks and is filled with assholes
Maybe if he minded his own damn business, he wouldn’t have got filmed in the first place...
Exactly*
THANK YOU. OTHER YOU-TUBERS DO IT AND NOTHING HAPPENS.
Yeah right. Photography is not a crime.
I Agree
Imagine someone getting mad over something that's perfectly legal
#JustBoomerThings
So because something is legal you can't be bothered by it. Sound logic.
@@FanRailer thems the breaks
@@Toomaz123 Nobody is saying you can't be bothered by it lol. But you can be bothered by something and still not lose you're shit over it and act unprofessionally.
@Narf I guarantee that was the 100th time he's been part of somebody's video when he didn't want to be. In this case he could have just stayed in the train. But there are MANY other times where there's a camera literally pointed right at your face which gets annoying over time. Film the trains, not the people operating. It's rude.
I can’t tell if this guy thinks you’re filming him or if it’s like the situation a few years ago where you were called a “terrorist” by some random guy on the platform. Even if this guy thinks you’re filming him and invading his privacy, you aren’t, you’re just filming the train. People are so sensitive
"The conduct in this video is completely unacceptable," Metropolitan Transit Authority spokeswoman Meredith Daniels told Patch. "We expect our conductors and all employees to behave professionally at all times. This incident has been reported directly to supervisors and will be investigated."
What was this guy's problem. Nobody would be able to see him if he didn't engage you. Especially the second time.
Thank you!! I was thinking exactly this! Hahaha!
If he minded his own business everything would be fine. But no. He chooses to yell and make this start with the cops and everything.
@@friendlycommenter8505 Photography is not a crime.
@@TakoElevators actually it is in penn GCT and the path system
@@NickyD, wrong only path system
If i were working for the LIRR id love it if i was on camera while someone films the trains, in fact, id be down right proud because working for the LIRR would be a dream come true! This guy should have had a better attitude because filming trains is such a fun and LEGAL thing to do! Keep up the great work!
Same w cars.
LMAO, imagine the look on his face if the cops do show up and don't arrest you for it.
They never would it’s one of the dumbest things to do so unless he got caught red handed 10,000 times.
I hate when this happens to us railfans. We don’t mean any harm.
💯💯💯
I agree, recording something never causes any damage.
Agreed
Agreed!
Generally I consider train stations private property so i only photo trains if on an open platform like what you are doing. I usually have the problem with carspotting (though very rarely, and only had 3 police encounters, none with arrest and one move-on). Most times, cops either say try another street, but they knew I am not a scammer, but a tourist who enjoys taking pics. It is easier said but confrontations are extremely rare given that I focus on non-foot traffic, and often if the owner wants a conversation indicates they are fine with it. But its public property so they don't have a choice.
The ironic part is if he didn’t do this nobody would be watching him right now.
When the conductor does not know anything about train fleet and railfans, and NEVER looks at their own media pages.
He told you twice LOL! It's not illegal pal. Why is it so hard for them to remember that?
@Fibonacci joke's on you pal. www.lirrhistory.com/photog.pdf
Well that guy is not smart it has been legal and this bitch ass new yorker is giving someone the bird for filming a fucking train what's wrong with New York, probably the high taxes
He’s going so mad in the 7 line since there’s a rail fanner that records the 7 train and his name is Tech and Transit
The MTA allows filming
Both hilarious and disgusting. I feel your pain, as a fellow transit filmer.
Bay Area Transit News Never been to San Francisco, I'm from NYC, how are your new Bart subway trains coming along? I've seen videos of them, they look cool.
I recorded both new and old BART trains and none of the operators did anything like that.
@@humansavages832 Sorry for late reply; the new Fleet of the Future trains are awesome, and I hope you can can come and check them out someday. They're slowly becoming more prominent in the system as of late.
These people are just trying to do their job. I know it’s seems trivial but who would want to be filmed at their cubicle or on a job site.
@@718ant5 I understand that many employees may be grumpy when someone films them, but in this case scenario the MTA encouraged people to go out and take pictures of their new trains.
Screw all crew members who think photography is an act of suspicious activity! Thank god this vid got attention and was made public. Also surprised the guy who claims railfanning is against the law hasn’t appeared on this video yet. He never proved such either.
They think it's the fakakta PATH trains
MTA Members are so mean most of the time.
@Justin the Movie Guy Productions These guys usually don't have a problem with filming and there isn't any restrictions necessarily from them. The only one in the USA who has the nerve to ban public photography as a whole is Port Authority Trans-Hudson.
Film me at work whenever you want. Just don't film me on the golf course when i'm supposed to be at work.
hahahaha good thing I'm not a golf enthusiast lol
Bruh. I don't get it, the camera wasn't even facing him. He literally called you out for your attention. I'm starting to think he wants to be filmed. LOL
Him: STOP FILMING
Also Him: gets attention from a record camera
Its so funny how the camera is just pointed at the gate and then you just yelled at by the conducter 🤣🤣
The cops are on their way to arrest the conductor :/
Egg Squad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 love that
Best comment ever!
This is definitely a thing! I got flipped off a couple of years ago by a conductor who was pulling into Penn Station on a late train. I reported it on Twitter and was told that an official would get in touch for more information, but that never happened.
I got attacked last year for filming an elevator at Penn Station also
It's even more ironic that if he literally did not get mad at you, he wouldn't have even been filmed.
BRO YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TRUE THAT BE
@@FanRailer It's all on him, he's now in the news patch.com/new-york/gardencity/lirr-conductor-flips-person-filming-new-m9-train?.com&fbclid=IwAR0C2tDAyYROXiUG-Sa99_9U3uj8nla-n73UD6bHKZXr8Ee55-5Aqh_7Ji8
yea i kno
I would report his behavior to the MTA and the LIRR. Disgraceful to say the least.
mta is aware since this video is all over twitter
Well, did the cops come?
nope lmao
They wouldn't be able to stop him as what Fan Railer is doing is a constitutionally protected activity.
Please keep us updated on how this turns out. I am sure that operator is already shocked at how this has exploded!
I JUST SAW THE NEWS, NBC NEWS AT 11 PM AND FOUND YOU!!!
Got the link or something? I want to see it myself!
Miss Jennifer Banks they probably will put it up on there CZcams channel they haven’t yet
I uploaded myself, czcams.com/video/iUOUpaoX0rM/video.html
U should show this to LIRR so they can deal with him cause that’s disgraceful to u and to the railroad
its on twitter someone showed them they are aware
They ain’t happy
it’s not LIRR it’s mta
Has anyone thought that he’s had problems with railfans trespassing in the past or had close calls almost hitting someone in the past
Why do people gotta be annoyed while we film them? It's not that big of a offenses way to do it I film them sometimes and this guy that does the west hempstead branch just tells me to stop coming here a lot just becuse the M7 r the only common train in LI like omg people gotta chill these days like theres not a reason to stop recording honestly like come on...
Every time I go to see trains in a somewhat empty station and someone comes up near me i hope that they don't give me a hard time. ESPECIALLY when I was in Paris a few weeks ago like I didn't even know if the SNCF allowed recording on their property.
Just imagine this guy being a PATH employee instead lol
That transit employee shouldn't of did that because the transit stations are consider public property because taxpayers are paying to used the stations so it's not private property. It just say no smoking and no soliciting on transit property, it doesn't say no photography or videography on transit property.
Fan Railer - you were famous before but now you’re FAMOUS!! Congrats and thank you for all the videos and dealing with jerks like this.
*Dial 911*
"Hello operator, there's a guy here in Long Island using his phone to record stuff"
"Okay, stay calm ma'am, we're sending in the seals".
LOL If your not good with seeing strangers in public don’t be a conductor.
I’m from Sydney Australia and unfortunately some of the drivers and guards are like this train conductor. I mean rude people are everywhere but this video made me lol. He just made a complete fool of himself. He is exposed on media so he could easily get suspended or lose his job. He’s probably abit mental as well to the reason he flipped you
off and said “don’t film me”. If I was the guard I would’ve given a friendly wave at you.
What's his problem? Did the camera kill his wife and kids?
Pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with photographing the train? I must've missed something.
You didn't, because I don't get it either.
There is absolutely nothing morally wrong about photographing trains. However, due to the post 9/11, mass shooting, and terror attacks hysteria, some rail workers may over react to people filming, even if it was a kid because they think that could be used to plan terror attacks. I understand the concern about this, but I agree it's ridiculous we don't need to resort to Orwellian/Nazi Germany tactics to stop terrorism.
@@Nordicus0114 Which is surprising given how the MTA had sent out a memo stating it is allowed on MN/LIRR/subway (over 10 years ago now?)
Good Evening can we use your video on wnbc for a story on this conductor with a courtesy please thank you
Go ahead, just attribute credit. That's all I ask.
This guy has no chill whatsoever
That guy should get fired!
He is already fired
Big Time
Metro north conductors mad polite
It’s not illegal to film trains. I get that people don’t want their face on camera but they just take this way to seriously and especially for us transport buffs. Nice video and I saw it on the evening news
And hey, we're filming the trains, not you.
Me, my friend, and his dad went to grand central to film the metro north trains entering the terminal. When we were filming the train on our phones, I waved at the operator and he waved back, didn’t flip us off like in this video...
MN conductors can, on the whole, be really damn cool. :D
that conductor shouldn't react like that that was unacceptable
Yeah exactly
Exactly why I stopped taking the train and now drive. For almost $300/month you too can spend an hour with such a charming gentleman, what a deal!
He told you something twice! What he told you remains unknown! Lol
Lol. Why does he care if you film i don't understand? Btw did the cops come?
nope
I honesty don't know what was going on in this conductor's brain.
Dank 'n Derpy Gamer what brain? He doesn’t even have one!!!
Congratulations! You'll get your video on the news!
That Conductor just got 30 days on the ground without pay at minimum but considering how this video went viral he will probably get Level 5.
He was on an M7, and later an M9? Did they swap the equipment?
he in service on the m7. deadheading on the m9.
@@FanRailer You should report him.
@@FanRailer What do those phrases mean? Thanks!
@@walkgood4092 he was a train conductor on the M7 then switched to a M9 at the terminal and came* back then flipped him off.
I hate transit workers that always say stop filming or stop taking pictures. Some Transit personnel are Friendly and Professional. This Guy is not one of them.
Dat guy has never heard of railfanning
The fact is that he wasted energy to yell at you for something you did which was legal so his behind needs to be suspended
don't listen to them. you have every right to film MTA
I like how he tells you, who is in a public place, to stop filming. He should know that you can take video/pics of whatever you want if you're in a public place, and don't need permission lol. If he doesn't like being on film, maybe he shouldn't work a job that's out in the public lmao. Good video.
This is technically private property - public place would mean filming train from a bridge or streetway like in Chicago
It is public the station and the railroad is paid for by city
Video suggestion: On Monday, trying going to the Kew Gardens station and capture a video of a C3 Train Boarding! Those trains are from the Montauk Branch but departed from Speonk. Also, remember you must capture it by 8:05 am.
lol way ahead of you. the video is already up.
LOL
What chances are that same conductor could be on a M7 and then an M9 plus how could he remember you when being on the M9
Last month was The Blue Malcolmviile's 1st anniversary! Happy 1st birthday Blue Malcolmville!
I feel your pain, I got yelled at by a incredibly rude MBTA Red Line driver, she told me to stop filming or She will call the Police.
Always carry a copy of whatever the equivalent to the Code of Conduct is for your transit system. That way, if you ever get questioned, you can flash it in their face.
saw this on instagram from my friend when this came out lol
I got that attitude too, from two TTC drivers when I took a picture of their bus. One shouted at me behind closed doors, and one gave me "the finger". Though typical operators, can't get enough of them. TBH, most of the time I do, they don't even care, so even like too.
Photography is not a crime!
Dude is just an angry old man, with obvious problems
Oh my that’s rude
If It Happens In Indonesia, He'll Get Viraled And Get's Punished By His Boss.
And it was on the newest train? Complete bruh moment
ME: Railfanning
Conductor: Flips me off
ME: Why did you choose to pick a bone with me and not the damn karen
I'm now a train operator for over a year, and I don't mind people recording as long as it is for the purpose of entertainment and educational purposes only. This guy just _had_ to ruin the fun, huh? Glad that he served the punishment he deserves as this is definitely a fire-able offense.
Did the cops ever do anything?
What's his F ing problem? Why does he have to give you an Attitude?
Came here from MTA Memes for Perpetually-Swiping Teens 😂
Why did the conductor say “No Filming”?
bc asshole, idk lol
Because stupid people will stupid - I thought the MTA was going to do training of some kind to make employees aware of the fact that it is allowed.
Why is he angry about rail fanning
this has never happened to me because i mostly railfan MTA, MNR, and NJ transit.. i dont live near ANY lirr station except penn
LOL that description compared to what the guy said was hilarious.
I agree with you, he was being a Wise Guy LMAO.
This guy looks a lot like the McJuggerNuggets Psycho Dad
your not the only one,
i Got Screamed for recording (7) train Shuttle buses At 111 st
That's professional from the Rail driver. Can't he understand that there are Enthusiast all over the world. Plus today society we carry a camera where ever we go. Whether it's big or small. If the driver stayed in his cab and have his cab windows closed, then we wouldn't be in shot lool. Some people take it too far some times. I will say that I enjoy your video content. Keep it up Bro
That isn't the driver, that is a Conductor who collects tickets and repairs the train when there are general issues.
I love it when they do shit like this. They just weed themselves out...
The 0.1% of train engineers that do this really do give a bad reputation to everyone else driving public transit.
Screw him ... you can film whatever you want.
News people are trolling CZcams cause service has gotten so bad lol
He should do he's job or he'll get reported and get fired from the MTA LIRR
Clearly that conductor didn't get the memo
What was his problem? The new trains aren’t classified, Hope he realizes, they’re in the public domain...”be less stupid”. Love the footage! Peace 🙏
The train drivers need to stop telling the man to stop fiming
To The Train Driver, He’s Definitely Allowed To Film It Because LIRR Is Not Part Of Port Authority
That is highly unprofessional... and extremely rude in general...
In Argentina can be worst,sadly . . .
Also,greetings from Argentina!!
Engineer: I tOlD yOu tWiCE ABoUt ReCorDiNg mE
Fan Railer:
Me: *YOU MAD BRO?*
It seems like he doesn’t like us formers lol
Dang it I will record this then I’ll Report her to the MTA so he can get fired
you're WAY late... been fired.
Damn that conductor must have been having a bad day
There are plenty of transit employees who are unaware that photography is perfectly legal. I've ran into a few Self Appointed Homeland Security Officers myself including a LIRR operator at Jamaica, who yelled at me. The last time I was in Chicago, a motorman on the El asked me if I had permission to take pictures when the CTA website clearly states that it's OK just as long as you don't get in anyone's way. I really let him have it in my voice for stupid people where I enunciate every syllable. I will continue to photograph and video record trains if this pandemic ever ends but even though it's legal, I'll be constantly looking over my shoulder.
he just ruins the beauty of the m9 with his antics...
Either one of these things could be true about the guy.
1. He's new and isn't used to anybody railfanning who just had a ridiculously short temper
2. He must have a bad life and is just trying ruin other people's life.
he'd been around for a WHILE, so probably number 2
@@FanRailer Well I'm glad to hear he got fired.
This guy needs to be fired. He's a total jerk.
