That's funny Russo,
I just watched some random Youtuber's efforts recording the 4014 headed back to Colorado, he panned in and wriggled the camera in a most awkward manner trying to exorcise the Diesel out of his shot as the train passed. And again he repeated the clumsiness every time, jerking the camera upwards, pretending it wasn't there. Oddly enough the incongruity of the string of modern centreflow Hoppers at the rear of the train was OK to include in each runby.
I find it rather amusing even after 60 years since sidelining the mainline steampower, railfan's are still choking on the inclusion. Time to let it go.
