I believe you will find that that is a diesel era policy. Steam locomotives are able to travis much deeper water.
Being that this train is apparently moving (seems to be a low bow wave in the left/center front of the pic), it a certainty that all the bearings on this train and engine/tender are soon to be shot.
Probably not "shot", but the oil and grease lubricants would certainly require lots of attention.
