That would preferred over having a helicopter following the train to provide streaming coverage. There would be less chance that a helicopter would be shot down during a fan trip.
The bunch in Texas did something similar on the move to Frisco. On board telemetry of brake pipe, boiler pressure , speed and all other instrumentation would be fun as well as GPS tracking. This is the 21st century after all. There should be an App for that.
