A few years later UP runs 4014 all over the line drawing spectators out in droves.
Incidents are what insurance is for. Insurance doesn't cover revenue freight trains that are delayed by excursions for railfans.
My point is, stuff happens. The Big Boy attracts many thousands of people when it visits a major city. Revenue freights don't. The chance of an accident goes up significantly when you have that many people around, all fighting to get as close as they can for a cellphone pic of the locomotive. Many of them know nothing about trains and how dangerous they can be. There's a reason that NS didn't publish 611's schedule en route to / from Strasburg and it had nothing to do with PSR.
