Great series Hippi!
What was the purpose of the car in your second photo of this series? It had a large diesel engine running inside of it (I saw the train when it rolled into Kansas City yesterday).

The diesel engine running drives an alternator to supply electric power to the "passenger" cars. When I rode on an excursion October 19, 2019 the entire train was composed of 26 cars + the 2 diesel locomotives and The Big Boy.
12 of the cars were support cars, (crew, mechanics, food service, tools, etc.
Hope this helps
