I think a major problem is that passenger trains have to pull into Union Station, and then back out (which is what Amtrak does, I believe. For quite a number of years, now, the southbound exit track from the station no longer exists, for various reasons I've forgotten. Quite a few buildings now exist where the track used to go.
In any case, the UP doesn't want to have to back up this train. Various issues can present themselves. Among other things, I know I've heard that the centipede tender can have a derailing problem on backups, expecially on curves that are at all tight.
