My first view of UP 3985 at Hermosa, WY was ruined the same way. A nice, dramatic scene, with smoke, steam, sounds....all ruined by a piggyback train going the other way at the last moment.

Some times, everything hinges on a simple twist of freight...

Cor blimey guv'nor!

No doubt shortly after being 'bowled' the pair of railfans/trainspotters appreciated the appropriateness/irony of a steam train being overtaken by a high speed passenger diesel.
