I know they're only using the first 2 or 3 engines towing the others, but still feels like something I would've made in Train Sim.

Here we see the matriarch engine leading her pride across the savanna. The monsoon season is coming and she knows she must lead them to higher ground.

Finding proper SR20 documentation is currently escaping me, but I've seen pics of EMD doing this out of their LaGrange, IL plant in the 1960s. My dad lived not too far away from there, and he recalls seeing trains with locomotives on the front, all with different railroad liveries.

This was 2 ATSF livery engines pulling 10 Heritage II and III engines and a whole bunch of auto carriers.

One of my grade school friend's dad works/worked for BNSF as a motive power dispatcher. I'll have to ask him how common moves like this are for them.

I see this a lot, living in a town sandwiched between three train yards. Cars get moved back and forth, being put into larger trains and their engines end up left on a siding at a rail yard unable to be used. Eventually so many of them stack up that they need to move them somewhere else so you get trains like this.

It also happens with empty cars. I've seen trains composed of 20 or so engines with a grab-bag of a consist with car randomly thrown in, all empty, being moved from yard to yard.
