@CALNNC posted:I agree that Strasburg wanted the participants to not fumble with cameras and video, so they banned it all. But even the jump seat passenger could not have a camera. I mentioned the fact to the crew while there that the 611 had cameras on it, foot board and down at the drivers, but the response to that was yes they are on it, but not in the cab. Perhaps they over interpreted the rule, but it would have been nice if they could have provided a video you could pay them for, or even include it in the price of the privilege of running and riding in the cab.
It's very common these days to not allow people in the cab to have cameras. There are many reasons for this, but I would think that a few high-profile accidents on mainlines where crew were on their cells might have had something to do with that.
That said, I am surprised that someone who is not crew and just standing in the cab also can't have a camera. That's a new one.
