Looks good to me, Mike. It also appears that the gentleman at the extreme left of your first picture is holding an electric guitar while watching trains!

Looks like the westbound GP-9 is the Chatsworth Local at the Burbank Junction ..loaded with auto parts destined to the Van Nuys , Raymer Gemco assembly plant...waiting for the eastbound manifest train off the Coast...

Nice shot Mike. I REALLY like the 3/4 going-away shot with the engineers profile. Way cool!!!

So... was this guy with that electric guitar trying to "serenade" the freights at the meet?

I'd guess he was an electric bass player trying to get the bass line right for their new single.
