Actually that one is towing a modern locomotive to run the power for the cars.
There is that and a modern locomotive is required for the rail network. Up until recently, UP's Bog Boy was the same way until they installed another dynamo to provide enough power to operate the equipment for the rail network communication. Though, there are other things the modern locomotive can provide, like dynamic braking. But, the Big Boy no longer HAS to have a modern locomotive in order to be compliant.
