There was a video posted yesterday of the UP 844. It needed help from a diesel also.
The diesels are for backup only. No help needed.

I agree completely with having a diesel stuck in the consist, but they do it for a few reasons, one to conserve coal, because they wouldn't have enough to make it up and back and the logistics of having coal at the destination is a headache. Depending on routes, the diesel may be needed for dynamic braking and assisting with grades. Also, a lot of the excursion trains are 19-24 cars.
On the ferry move on April 21 from Spencer to Greensboro for the Greensboro to Roanoke trips they took a gondola full of coal and a crane to load with them in the attached photo.
