I have noticed when a large number of engines (say a dozen) are being moved as part of a larger train they are usually on and idling. Other times they appear to be on line and pulling. This doesn't seem to make obvious sense as their additional power is certainly not needed, nor can it even be fully used.  Why burn that extra fuel just to be towed along?  Thanks.
