Well, I have done precisely that.  Head Office says they have no problem with
personal photography, just talk to the Station Master first, and there should be
no problem.  The only thing is, that when I have followed this advice, either the
Station Master says no, or as happened in one case, it took three quarters of an
hour of phone calls for him to say yes, but the train had gone through long
before.
