For someone out of town - yes, that's about what you can do. You can probably get them ONCE west of Georgetown, ONCE west of Guelph (but NOT Guelph - and even this is highly dependent on traffic) and of course if they work Kitchener, then at Kitchener. I learned this a long time ago when chasing CN re-routes on GEXR in 2003. It was difficult to say the least. Now I just stake a photo, get the shot, and move on. No thanks, not for me.

I think by this point the head end has crested the hill and the gang is getting up to track speed. A great spot for a photo, but don't even attempt to 'chase' - it's futile. You won't get ahead.
