>Another issue is that the FRA heavily frowns on Amtrak using a "passenger" unit without switching steps (P40/42 or F59PHI) assigned a switch engine.

It's not so much a question of "frowns" as "can't be used". This prohibition isn't passenger unit-specific, being equally applicable to freight units, like older F-units used here and there on various short lines until recently.
