Ike:  Thank you.  It makes sense, as tank cars aren't designed to be used between locos.

Unless I'm missing something, those Roller Bearing Trucks don't have traction motors . . . and my Photoshop radar is going off wildly . . .

Nope, not PhotoShop.  Those are shop trucks, which are placed under locomotives sometimes when their trucks are being rebuilt.  It allows them to continue to work on (and roll around) the locomotive body while it's off its own trucks.
