It is very possible that the trains you are see are the Ann Rutledge trains.  As far as the locomotive on both ends, one locomotive is probably just a cab car, it is possible that Amtrak had some Genesus units (pardon my spelling) that had been wrecked or need some major wiring or major engine work and so instead of spending the needed money they would still be able to make money with the unit as a cab control car.  It could be possible that the wye there in chicago has been taken out of service (oos).  The only way to find out why would be to track the train into a station and just ask.  Most of the Amtrak employees are really nice and they would be glad to answer any questions that you may have.
