Why are diesel units used on modern day Steam Passenger Trains.?
Is it to power the passenger cars, or maybe for dynamic brakes.......

To my knowledge, there are no steam heating equipped cars that Amtrak permits to operate on their trackage/trains. Carrier business fleets have designated power cars in their normal consists to supply HEP for heating, cooling and other purposes.
