The funny thing is, I took this exact same shot at the end of our day, with the evening sun. I'm sure that some of our passengers find it amusing when they see the fireman and brakeman taking pictures just like them - I do feel like a tourist, but hey, look where I work!
It was great meeting you today, hope you enjoyed the trip. Also, best wishes for your camera and video. I remember dropping my parent's video camera when my dad and I were out being railfans. Ever since I have been very careful with handling cameras.
