In Mr Lucas' case, only just, as a call of nature intervened and he wasn't quite expecting the train to sneak up so quietly!

 I chased (and it was a "chase"!) the train from Tamworth to Cowan and
managed to get some spectacular video (and audio!!) of the train in
bright afternoon sunlight. 4201 certainly looks good leading!

ps. I've also got video evidence of just how fast Lindsay can run when
he needs to - only problem is, I could neveruse it commercially
because there is something hanging out of his fly!
