Yes I know. I had a spotter. Plus the tracks we were on are not often traveled, and I would not let them go into the bridge where they could not safely jump out of the way. It was discussed and I definitely said No, to that idea!! But you are right, it is never a safe idea. Nor the first one, lol, us being in the middle of the street!! I would "never" do this with a young child, ever, but they wanted the pics, so I said, ok! Risk my own safety as well.
Watching professionals at work when I just happen to be in the area, I gather that each tends to have her/his own list of favorite places to take pictures like these. Do you have a list like that yet?
BTW - around here the tracks are policed by city cops because they have had "too many" young pedestrians killed by "unexpected" trains.
