Firstly I am talking about the excursions that are a Steam loco paired with a diesel loco. Most notably the UP 3985 with the 6936.
I know that they pair a steam engine with the diesel in case the steam loco breaks down.
So my question. When it comes to breaking(slowing and stopping) , How is it done?
Does the diesel do most of the breaking with the steam only breaking itself?
Or do they share the duty?

I was just in trainz driving a double header with a steam/diesel combo when I though of this.
