Roger,
I see through several threads and numerous posts, you are still trying to defend yourself. You don't have a defense. Were you within your legal rights to be where you were? Yes. Should you have flown your drone around the line of photographers? No. Common courtesy as most understand it would say not. You shoot video and certainly know that the racket from the drone will ruin the sound recording anywhere in the area. Also, not all have the skills or access to Photoshop to remove the image of the drone from their photos.
You said that you apologized. OK, but this defiant statement doesn't sound like your heart was in that apology.

Since you are a Chama resident you knew in advance about the charter running. There is nothing wrong with getting some photos of it, the organizers do not care if you do that. But when you interfere with the paying participants you cross a line to the moral wrong side. Those folks made a major financial contribution to the railroad and to the town. Some probably even shopped in your place. They deserve some consideration, since without them the charter trains would not have run at all.
Michael Allen pointed out in another post an interesting analogy. If there was a wedding in a public place, would you crash it and interfere with it. Or maybe a childs birthday party in a park. Would you say it's public property and I have a right to be there, Or would you use the common courtesy that most folks normally exhibit?
