Oh boy, where do I even begin?

So for context, I was back home for the weekend, and after getting some work done at the library I decided to take a walk outside and wait for southbound manifest NS 153. I liked the open shot with the trees, so I elected to plop myself right there and chill. As the train was approaching, I noticed four girls walking along the sidewalk towards me acting like crackheads. The sound you hear in the beginning is the conclusion of their shenanigans in some port-a-potty, followed by one of them letting out a very loud and five-second long burp (yes, these are not boys we're talking about). You can hear the burp in the beginning, and that's why one of them apologized early on.

So, shortly after, I heard the K5LLA horn and thought "Crap" as I knew these loud-mouths would be yapping up a storm behind me. What I didn't, expect, however, was for them to start yelling at me like clowns. If you wonder why they thought I was on the tracks, it's because on the sidewalk, you literally can't see the rails, but let's use some logic here ladies and gentlemen. Does it truly make sense that I am standing with a camcorder out literally facing a train and I don't know that it's coming or where the tracks are?

Regardless, when I actually release my finalized production, I will have the majority of this audio edited out. And at the end of the day, I saw two SD70ACes in broad daylight and had a joyous time trackside this weekend that I'm very, very thankful for.

But I'm not going to lie, these have got to be the most annoying people I've ever encountered in my ten years of railfanning.

I know this seems very contrary to this rant, but God bless. I'll see you soon, out on the High Iron.
