In today's video, we're going to squash the age old "why does the big boy (and other steam engines) need a diesel helper?" with the many different reasons why they actually do! Many of these are provided by Ed Dickens himself thank you Ed!

Special thanks to my buddy Nick for letting me use his picture of the 4015 for the thumbnail.    / @jointlinerailfan
