Having diesels rescue electrics is nothing new on any corridor. Right now the NEC between DC and Baltimore has MARC Engine 68 (GP40WH2). Last time I saw it, it was hanging out around the entrance to the B&P tunnels near BAL.

I have seen them sitting at Zoo and Paola during expected bad weather.

Harrisburg and Philly are the only place regular rescue or backup diesels are placed for Keystone Service. Bad weather - Paoli - sure! Amtrak just has to have them in supply out of Philly!
