After doing my nut the other weekend I hope that this will be a useful guide.
I found it this morning.

Hope it works better than the last address I posted.

Wow, that's a pretty good site!
"ALWAYS be courteous to other railfans, try not to step into someone else's photo line of sight. Don't talk loudly as a train approaches in case someone else is trying to record the sounds. "
I had a recording of CP 2816 almost ruined, but not quite, by someone standing close to me.
As I was watching the steam come above the treetops, I turned on the tape recorder.
And I quote: "Chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff Oh look, she's making black smoke! chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff What? Why'd they put those [censored] ditchlight on? Chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff Whoooooo Whoooooo Whoo Whooooooo God, I love that sound! chuff chuff chuff chuff"
As this is going on, inside my head is "Shut the [censored] up, you're ruining my [censored] recording! Oh, well, at least there are other railfans in the area."
The worst part is, before I turned on the tape recorder, I asked him to be quiet. No, that isn't the worst part. The absolute worst part is that the film wasn't wound on properly, and all the pictures I took on that roll were non-existent. Including the beginning of my vacation(Including BNSF coal trains, My first SD70, BNSF 9647, and quite a few other things on the way to North Platte.)
