Your question has already been answered twice, Greg -
See [ngdiscussion.net] ... and the p.s. on [ngdiscussion.net].
BTW, I think that's me in the shadow of a tree at the far, far right of Steve's opening shot of the approaching train - before he zoomed out. I was shooting the stills posted previously (see first link,above). The fireman didn't notice me up on the hill, but I'm pretty sure he spotted Steve and Fred, as Engineer John played the whistle for them - and the crossing - appropriately ...
