I have seen the 4014 rolling twice. Once up close about 30 feet away. Just past a railroad crossing. Alot of spectators at that crossing. The engineer (presumably Ed) kept on the whistle even though the engine was past the crossing. Probably because of the amount of pedestrians there to see it. The whistle vibrated your clothes. And the tremendous weight of the engine noticeably shook the ground. The second time I seen it, was further away. Maybe 30 yards.
I have also seen the 3985 and 844 numerous times. From different distances. And also seen both of those locomotives parked where you could walk up to them.
I always tell people to not try to take pictures or shoot video when you go out to see them moving in person. It's just not the same trying to see it through your phone. There is tons of footage already on you tube. Some of it is poor. Some of it is really good. What's on there that is really good, is probably better than what you are going to capture. So if you go out to see them, focus on the in person experience. Kind of the whole point of seeing it in person. It don't seem to take long for it to go by no matter what speed it's going. So you have very little time to see it with your own eyes as it is. And if your watching that whole little bit being displayed on your phone, well, .... it's just really not the same as actually watching it with your own eyes.
If it's just a one time deal for you to actually get to see one, yes, you will want to see it from some distance. The more distance, the longer the moment of good viewing will be. Up pretty close (30 feet), you only have a mere few seconds of good viewing. Further away, you might have a minute or two.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
