Climbing out of Eureka was a 7% grade. As a result it was the standard practice of the SN to shove from behind as a precaution to prevent risking any cars breaking loose on the grade. So judging from the plume on the forward engine I assume it's doing most of the work and #3 is assisting from behind.
