I believe Bill Gates is a railfan. I remember reading about him renting a private train a few years ago (why would someone with his bucks rent a train when he could buy one?)

Bill Gates also owns a lot of shares in CN. See this topic from the Classic Toy Trains forum: http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?page=-1&TOPIC_ID=21860&REPLY_ID=208301#208301

An wider view of the girls tugging on the rope also appears at this website:

Maybe they staged similar pulling and pushing events at different stops along the way when the engine was touring as a demonstrator.

Sorry, the links on my last post about Chet Huntley don't seem to be working. Maybe I'm digging in too deep.
