If you're going to photograph it, be sure you pick out a good spot in advance and be sure you know where the sun will be at the time the train's coming through. Keep in mind that photographing a large, very dark locomotive is tricky, especially if the sun is strong and high in the sky. If you can, bracket your exposures. Also: If you're going to chase it, drive carefully!
