It's too bad they don't know the rule because this is an incorrect interpretation of it.
The rule about "No Electronics" in a locomotive cab applies only to the operating crew. It says nothing about a guest or some other non-crew member using a camera or phone. How do you think I produced my last 765 run video in 2016? There was a guest in the cab with no operating responsibilities. He shot all the in-cab video and it was perfectly legal.
