(erielack) Latest Diamond - Single E-units on passenger trains

The latest issue of the Diamond shows the Lake Cities on the cover with a single E8 for power. This is only the second time I've seen a photo of the train powered by a single unit. Was this a rare occurance, or just a seldom photographed occurance? 
 
Also, inside shows an EL business train also with a single E8 - the still extant 833. I don't recall ever seeing an EL business train with a lone E8. (Conrail was a different story) Assuming the consist is 833, Spirit of Youngstown, and business cars 3 and 300, all the equipment in the pictures is still extant.
