I'd probably just note the road name unless the loco was some remarkably older unit that stood out from today's equipment.

That's basically all I do. I wouldn't even think of trying to ID the type of loco, not even at 10 MPH. I have trouble with that even while I'm holding up a box with all the info right in the ends... 35 To only have all that knowledge that those rivet-counters do... Nope
