Shooting the Photographer?

How often do you guys have this happen to you? Having been around quite a few crews, I've become the victim, er, I mean, "subject" on several different occasions. Knowing how many railroaders like to have a little fun from time to time, I'm curious how often you people get this.

Once, in Colorado, summer of last year. My friend and I were just east of the Moffat Tunnel east portal when a coal train was running by. We took our shots, let our cameras down to wave, and the engineer side window opens to see a bearded man with a big grin on his face and a small digital camera.

Maybe there's a forum where engineers post pics of the humanfanning they've done?

OR, maybe they're taking pics for homeland security.
