Plan for you and 200 of your closest friends, no matter how deep into the woods it is. Take it from somebody with 50 years of experience chasing steam. A lot of the "Don't dos!" on UP's schedule page is clearly a result of railfan shenanigans, including some of my own.

I heard this on a video recently.. 

For many of us, the best place to watch is from your couch on TV.. (via Virtual Railfan and other people's videos)..

My wife saw something on Facebook about it coming through Iowa and asked if I wanted to go...... NOPE!..
It turns out you can get black confetti in the shape of d'cks...

I've not been, but I'll offer my google sleuthing and maybe you see what I see. Google Maps shows a paved section of Birds Eye Road ending in a parking area. Following the dirt road on to near the curve it's a 1.2 mile walk. You'd be on the dirt road almost all the way. It parallels the railroad grade, so it shouldn't be too much incline. Not sure about the last 500 feet or so, may require walking off a trail. I'll guess there is a social trail or two already; if not, just look for the other people with the same idea.
