Actually, this pesky "drone" was part of making an IMAX movie of 2816's excursion from Vancouver to Calgary via Crows Nest Pass. Here the train is on the huge steel trestle just south of Lethbridge, Alberta on the line to Shelby, Montana. A giant IMAX camera is mounted on the front of the "drone" for even better resolution than from Roger's GoPro. With the chopper having buzzed off, the train can proceed with crossing the bridge.
