I will echo the same, the open air gon will be your best bet for the trip. No matter how full or empty the train is, you will be able to get good views for sure there! Be prepared to get covered in cinders! A cap and / or a pair of sun glasses will help keep them out of your eyes. I would also check out the platform behind your engine. While photos are not as good there, the sights and sounds will more than make up for it! Enjoy walking around the yard with the engine this morning as they get it serviced, there is not an experience like it!
