I don't know the particular rules in play here, but on some roads there were 
rules about separating locomotives dead in tow from each other.

I know in one rulebook ( from the Frisco) that I have in my collection states 
locomotives dead in tow are to be separated from live locomotives and each 
other by one car.

There also might be rules about weight restrictions on bridges which might 
require the separation seen in the photo.
