The problem with trainspotters is they take risks where they should not.
I do not know the road at this location, but you have a BV on a train to stop the trucks rolling backwards should a coupling break, or if a train divides.
There has been a lot of this on the mainline, where contractors vehicles have run away down Shap, and fatalities ensue.
If I had run a loose coupled train without a BV in the rear, with me init, I would have been sacked straight away with no excuses.
This sounds to me like people playing at trains, without the knowledge to know what they are doing.
Report if to the HMI and see what happens.
