I have to feel for the many rail fans who came from miles around to witness history and to hear the glorious sound of a vintage steam locomotive pulling a 2% grade up to and around the Tehachapi Loop, only to have to put up the noise from a f**king news helicopter. Nobody drove all that way to hear that!
The same thing happened to many of us who went to see Big Boy 4014 on the first leg of her return trip to Cheyenne. A helicopter chased the train from Ogden to Echo. It was very annoying, but imagine the great view they got!
